What to Order
Sunday Gravy with Rigatoni
A slow-simmered tomato-and-meat sauce—rich, savory, and ladled over pillowy rigatoni for that classic family-table feel.
Crispy Eggplant Parm
Thinly sliced eggplant fried to golden crispness, layered with tangy tomato, melty mozzarella, and basil.
Lemon-Ricotta Fritelle
Light, zesty ricotta fritters with a citrus finish — a bright, shareable starter that balances the heavier mains.
