One of last summer’s entrees has returned.

~ Spaghetti Il Riccio ~

Spaghetti tossed with fresh sea urchin (riccio di mare) and cured bottarga, delicately cooked in garlic-infused olive oil with fresh parsley. Topped with caviar & truffle. A simple dish that lets the flavors of the sea take center stage.

Our latest special features Don Bocarte Cantabrian anchovies, artisan-cured in Santoña, Spain on the Bay of Biscay, where the world’s finest anchovies are produced using traditional methods. Selected during the peak spring season, they are carefully hand-prepared for their rich, buttery texture and perfectly balanced flavor.

Served simply with warm crostini, Norwegian butter, and extra virgin olive oil, because exceptional ingredients deserve to shine.

🦀 Our Colossal Alaskan King Crab Legs are the largest size grade available, prized for their exceptionally sweet, rich flavor and impressive meat-to-shell ratio.

Each colossal leg can weigh over a pound, delivering thick, succulent pieces of crab meat that make for an unforgettable dining experience.

Served simply with fresh lemon, we let the extraordinary quality of this world-renowned delicacy speak for itself.
