Authentic Italian. The kitchen is driven wholly by handmade and locally-sourced ingredients, with the chefs doing all their own butchering, using every part of the animal. Fresh pasta, breads, stocks, charcuterie, desserts and cheese are all made in house. The wines are specifically chosen to complement the food, and are primarily Italian and French wines from boutique, family owned and small production producers.
