5 years of authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown Knoxville. Although our menu changes seasonally there is one constant— our house-made lasagna.
When we opened Chef Amalia curated our menu, bringing delicious family recipes from Northern Italy. Chef Amalia’s dishes are simple and rustic, with many having only five ingredients. Her recipes were handed down by her family, which she polished with techniques mastered at Milan’s culinary academy.
In the kitchen today, Culinary Director John Hasentufel and Sous Chef Ryan Bolton continue to honor and build upon Chef Amalia Brusati’s original vision, ensuring every plate reflects the care and craftsmanship that inspired this journey from the very beginning.
All pastas and breads are produced in house, then and now. Our lasagna was one of guests’ favorites when we opened, and this remains true to this day, five years later.
So, allow us to officially invite you in to taste the tradition.
