From the kitchen
Recipes written down in nonna's own hand, unchanged since before you were born.
Small stuffed pasta in a slow-simmered chicken and porcini broth, finished with a whisper of aged Parmigiano.
Blistered in the wood oven, San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, and basil picked from the window box out front.
House-cured salumi, marinated olives, and charred vegetables over a bed of bitter greens and aged balsamic.
Our story
When Mario opened these doors in 1962, it was just a long table, a wood oven, and recipes carried across the ocean. His daughter Rosa kept the flame going through the '90s, and now his grandchildren stir the same pots every single day.
