Belotti Bottega

Tagliatelle al Ragù

Long ribbons of fresh egg pasta draped in a slow-braised meat sauce — the kind that clings without overwhelming, built over hours

Tortellini in Brodo

Tiny hand-folded parcels bobbing in a crystalline capon broth — a masterclass in Northern Italian restraint

Fresh Pasta (market preparation)

The daily housemade pasta selection — ask what's fresh; the dough changes with the season and the chef's mood

Risotto

Northern Italian risotto executed with patience — properly toasted, slowly ladled, finished with good butter and aged cheese

Tiramisu

A textbook tiramisu — mascarpone clouds over espresso-soaked ladyfingers, not too sweet, not too boozy
