Autumn has arrived, and with it the comforting aromas and deep flavors that define the season. As the leaves turn, we invite you to join us for a menu inspired by the fall harvest and by the recipes, wines, and traditions we brought home from our recent journey through Sicily.
Our kitchen celebrates the season with rustic favorites and new discoveries — roasted squash and wild mushrooms, hearty greens, rich ragùs, and imported dry and fresh pastas kissed with olive oil and aged pecorino. Enjoy dishes like our pumpkin risotto, sausage and broccolini ravioli, slow-braised osso bucco with roasted fennel and blood orange on roasted garlic Parmesan polenta or roasted chicken with roasted root vegetables in lemon, white wine sauce.
Sip one of our newly found Sicilian wines, each chosen to highlight the depth and warmth of these fall flavors — from bold Nero d’Avola to elegant Etna Rosso.
Ask your server about today’s specials, and join us in celebrating the traditions, tastes, and spirit of the Sicilian countryside — where the harvest is always a time to gather, share, and savor.
