Ciao amici ✨

We’re back… and yes, we missed you (and your appetite) 🇮🇹❤️
After a little “research trip” in Italy 🍝🍷… we’re officially reopening tonight!

Doors open at 4:30 PM — same kitchen, fresh inspiration, maybe a few extra stories we’re not ready to share yet 😉

If you’ve been dreaming about pasta… consider this your sign.

See you tonight. Hungry is highly recommended.
