We are an Italian trattoria pizzeria serving a range of starters, pastas, main courses, pizzas and desserts. As is done in Italy, pork is used in our cooking together with other meats and seafood.
Chef and co-owner, Andrea Zanella, is from northeastern Vicenza and while he has a great fondness for food from his hometown, he is well-versed with all other regional styles.
Note: Our wood-fired pizzas are available in the evenings only.
Menu may change depending on availability of fresh ingredients.
