Margherita di Bufala
The classic, done properly: San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, creamy buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil and Sicilian oregano, from our stone-baked oven.
Not on the menu
Every month our chefs cook a few dishes you won't find printed anywhere. Small batches, whatever's best that season, and once they're gone, they're gone. We don't put them online. Ask your server what's on tonight.
