Cuisine: Italian cuisine that is both rustic & affordable. European-sized portions of homemade pastas, flatbreads, antipasti, cheeses served family style. The chef recommends 2-4 small plates per person. As the chef prepares and completes each dish, it is immediately brought out to the table — so your food arrives fresh and at the correct temperature. Their tasting flights are a lot of fun and a great value and give everyone at your table a chance to try lots of dishes. For a look at the full menu, click here.
