Starters

Begin your meal with vibrant starters like the delicate tartare di salmerino enhanced by crunchy anacardi and a hint of wasabi that excites the palate.

Delight in tortelli di lavarello with a luscious bisque of shrimp poured over lemongrass butter, or twirl spaghettoni made in-house, infused with garlic, chili, almonds, and the distinctive flavor of lavarello bottarga. For a vegetarian twist, try the pea gnocchi crowned with creamy burrata, fresh tomato, and mint. Risotto lovers will appreciate the earthy blend of spugnole mushrooms, taleggio fondue, and fragrant thyme.

For those seeking bold tastes, the grilled eel served with citrus gel, vinegar-poached pear, and mixed greens offers a sophisticated balance.
