Reginette with tenderstem broccoli, tomatoes and smoked scamorza
Characterized by crinkled ribbons and tangy tomatoes, this dish is praised as 'pure unctuous decadence' and well worth the wait for a table.

A 'must-order' snack that serves as the restaurant's unique take on the classic vitello tonnato.
Chocolate and hazelnut budino
A standout dessert described as a 'custardy' treat perfectly balanced with flecks of sea salt.

Good to know
They operate a strict no-booking policy with 90-minute table turns. It is very loud and busy inside. Gluten-free pasta is available (usually penne shape) for most sauces.
