Fresh pasta rolled every morning, pizza from the wood oven and Italian wine by the glass.

Open Tuesday to Sunday

Start in the courtyard.

Under the lemon tree, with a spritz and a slice of warm focaccia. The bar and the courtyard are kept for walk-ins, so you can always just come by.

Rolled by hand this morning.

Giulia learned on Sunday mornings in Bologna, at her grandmother's table. Every sheet of pasta you'll eat tonight was rolled before lunch.
