What to Order
Focaccia with Thyme Butter (or Lemon Butter)

Ravioli
Handmade pasta filled with delicious ingredients, consistently praised for its execution and flavor.

Gnocchi
These soft, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi are a standout, often served with a rich ragu.
"Et que dire des gnocchis au ragoût d’agneau… un pur bonheur. Des gnocchis moelleux, un ragoût riche et savoureux, réconfortant à souhait."
Marie-Anne Burgess
Ragu Pasta
A hearty and flavorful pasta dish, often featuring lamb or beef cheek, praised for its rich and comforting taste.
"Highlights, the creamy risotto, the kale salad and the comforting beef cheek tagliatelle. Cannot beat well made fresh pasta…"

Jacinthe Cocktail
A unique and highly praised cocktail, noted for its interesting depth of flavor from unexpected ingredients like dill.
