Handmade pasta

The kitchen's most reliable strength — fresh pasta executed with measured restraint, letting dough texture and sauce balance carry the dish rather than richness

Wood-fired protein mains

Meat or fish preparations that benefit from live-fire char and smoke — the wood oven is used purposefully, not decoratively

Antipasti starters

Italian small plates that open the meal cleanly — well-sourced ingredients, light touch, good for sharing while the main decision gets made

Cocktails

An Italian-leaning cocktail program more considered than most neighborhood spots — aperitivo-style drinks that set up dinner well

Dessert

Classic Italian finishers — expect something in the tiramisu or panna cotta family; execution is solid without being memorable
