The menu features Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as pasta, risotto, wood-fired pizzas, and meats, plus comfort dishes and daily specials. A Josper grill cooks dishes to order with charcoal. Neapolitan pizzas are made by trained pizzaiolos in a wood-fired oven. The restaurant staff can offer menu recommendations.
