🍽️ NONNA’S FEAST
🥗 BURRATA CAPRESE CON PESTO
Heirloom Tomatoes • Creamy Burrata • Fresh Basil Pesto
A beautiful Italian classic with a fresh twist. Juicy heirloom tomatoes paired with creamy burrata cheese, fragrant basil pesto, toasted pine nuts, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Finished with a touch of aged balsamic for the perfect balance of fresh, creamy, sweet, and savory.
🍝 TAGLIATELLE AL RAGÙ
Handmade Pasta • Slow-Simmered Bolognese
Roll up your sleeves and make pasta from scratch! You’ll learn how to prepare fresh egg pasta, roll it into delicate sheets, and cut beautiful ribbons of tagliatelle. Then comes Nonna’s secret…A rich, slow-simmered Italian ragù made with ground beef, pork, aromatic vegetables, tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Tossed together with fresh pasta and finished with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
HANDMADE. HEARTY. AUTHENTIC. DELIZIOSO!
🍗 POLLO ALLA MARSALA
Chicken • Wild Mushrooms • Marsala Wine
Tender chicken cutlets lightly dusted and pan-seared until golden, then finished with a luxurious sauce of locally sourced wild mushrooms, garlic, herbs, and sweet Marsala wine. A classic Italian-American favorite with all the rich, savory flavors you’d expect from Nonna’s kitchen.
🥔 PATATE AL ROSMARINO
Crispy Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Golden roasted potatoes tossed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic, and Italian herbs. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and absolutely perfect alongside the Marsala chicken.
🥦 BROCCOLINI AGLIO E OLIO
Garlic • Olive Oil • Chili • Lemon
Tender broccolini sautéed with fragrant garlic, extra virgin olive oil, a touch of chili, and fresh lemon. A simple Italian side that proves great cooking doesn’t have to be complicated.
