Paper-thin Wagyu beef carpaccio dressed with aged balsamic reduction, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, rocket leaves, toasted pine nuts, and Sicilian capers. An exercise in elegant restraint.
Creamy hand-pulled burrata from Apulia served with heirloom tomatoes, basil oil, fleur de sel, and toasted sourdough. Simplicity at its most profound — when the ingredients are this good, little else is needed.
Crisp-fried fresh squid rings and tentacles in a delicate semolina batter, served with house aioli and preserved lemon. The difference between good calamari and extraordinary calamari lies in the freshness — ours arrives daily.
A Tuscan classic — chicken liver pâté enriched with capers, anchovies, and a measure of aged Vin Santo, spread generously on hand-sliced toasted bread. Chef Marco's grandmother's recipe, unchanged since 1955.
A rich, saffron-scented broth of daily-landed fish, mussels, clams, and prawns, slow-cooked with plum tomatoes, garlic, and a splash of Pinot Grigio. Served with garlic-rubbed sourdough bruschetta.
Wild rocket, shaved Parmigiano, candied walnuts, sliced pear, and pomegranate seeds dressed with a honey-Dijon vinaigrette. Bright, bitter, sweet, and entirely irresistible as an introduction to the meal.
