Dalla cucina

Specials move with the seasons.

Some plates only exist for a month. Some only on Fridays. Ask what Marco is excited about.

Rosato poured at the bar

La cantina

A small cellar, on purpose.

Every bottle comes from Campania and every one has been drunk at our own table first. The house wine arrives in a carafe, cold, without ceremony.

In January the family makes the year’s limoncello from the terrace lemons. When it runs out, it runs out.
