Overview
About This Establishment
Seafood Risotto bursts with briny seafood—lobster tail, scallops, shrimp, and clams—folded into a creamy cheese medley. Handmade gnocchi and orecchiette carry textures that dance between silky and toothy, while the Bolognese blankets handmade pappardelle in a slow-cooked rag. The dining room is warm and intimate, with a polite buzz and gentle Italian tunes setting a romantic tone. Expect careful wine and cocktail pairing from an Italian-focused beverage program.
