The menu
Pasta and pizza dough are made here every day. The oven is wood-fired. Where our wine list names a bottle for a dish, you will find it alongside, because that is how Riccardo wrote the list.
GF marks a dish that is gluten free or can be made so. Gluten free pizza dough and pasta are available on request. MP is market price. Tell your server about any allergy, dietary restriction or religious practice and the kitchen will work round it.

Fatto a mano
The dough is made the morning you eat it
All of the pizza dough and all of the pasta is made in house, every day. The oven is wood-fired, which is why a Margherita comes out in a couple of minutes with a blistered edge.
Gluten free pizza dough and gluten free pasta are there if you want them, and most of the menu is already marked GF without changing a thing.
E da bere
Now pick something to drink
The wine list is entirely Italian and it runs to 118 bottles, nineteen of them by the glass. The bar does classics, spritzes, amari and a Negroni we make with coconut oil washed Campari.
