Last few days to enjoy our sheep’s milk ricotta tortelli with cherry tomatoes & mint pistachio pesto! 🍅🌿

This one is a team favorite. We import the sheep’s milk ricotta from Sardinia, which makes for an ultra-creamy yet surprisingly light pasta filling. And the mint pistachio pesto? We could put it on EVERYTHING.

Fall produce is right around the corner, and our team is already starting to work on new specials. 🍂🍝

What’s your favorite fall pasta?

Meet Alvin Pham, our new Beverage Manager and newest member of ! 🍷

We’re handing him the mic to share a w**e he’s loving right now—and what he wants to eat with it.

Jasci Pecorino | Abruzzo, Italy

Jasci’s story begins in the 1960s, just outside the seaside town of Vasto. In the ’80s, the family converted their vineyards to organic farming, becoming one of Italy’s earliest certified organic w**eries. Today, third-generation w**emaker Donatello Jasci continues that commitment to organic farming.

Look closely at the bottle and you’ll see “senza solfiti”—without added sulfites—along with its Italian organic certification.

Why does Alvin love it?

“It has naturally bright acidity, with stone fruit and lemon zest, which makes it such a great w**e for food. I also love Jasci’s deep commitment to organic farming and the standards they’ve maintained for generations. It’s just a really tasty w**e made with intention.

I love it with our grilled sea scallops. The sweet corn brings out the peach and nectarine in the w**e, while the butter plays against that bright acidity. The salinity and char of the scallops highlight all that citrusy zest.

It’s food and w**e making each other better.”

Welcome to , Alvin! 🥂

One of our newest martinis, dreamed up by our barman, Jordan, is bright, herbaceous, and just the right amount of unexpected.

Y’all, it’s happening — our beloved Gramigna pasta with Norcina sausage and ALL the peas is back on the menu today! 🫛🫛🫛🫛🫛🫛

Gramigna, which translates to “little weeds,” is a curly, elbow-shaped pasta from the region of Emilia-Romagna. We make ours in-house using our bronze-die extruder, giving it the perfect texture to catch every bit of sauce.

Our Norcina sausage is made with prosciutto, black garlic, and a touch of nutmeg. We render the sausage until rich and savory, then toss it with the pasta and all the sweet spring peas. A few generous handfuls of Parmigiano Reggiano bring everything together before we finish it with fresh orange zest and a drizzle of orange blossom honey.

An absolute favorite of and our guests year after year. Come get it while pea season is still here. 💚🫛🍝
