Cozy eatery offering a taste of Northern Italy: seating 20 plus 4 counter bar seats by the window. Cocktails seemed nice (bartender was making them nonstop) but decided to go with the Cortese (white grape varietal predominantly grown in Piedmont).Here’s what we had.Bread with charcuterie and olive oil.Beef and pork Meatballs in a bright, herbaceous, and slightly sweet tomato sauce; hearty and incredibly tender.Crispy-edged Seared Polenta (cornmeal made from ground corn), with savory Porcini Mush
Cocktails seemed nice (bartender was making them nonstop) but decided to go with the Cortese (white grape varietal predominantly grown in Piedmont).
Here’s what we had.
Bread with charcuterie and olive oil.
Beef and pork Meatballs in a bright, herbaceous, and slightly sweet tomato sauce; hearty and incredibly tender.
Crispy-edged Seared Polenta (cornmeal made from ground corn), with savory Porcini Mushroom Cream sauce and Prosciutto- a textural delight.
Beef Tartare (made from prized Piedmontese Fassone beef, known for being tender yet lean and low in fat) seasoned with anchovy bringing umami, and chili and vinegar emulsion- a bit too spicy for me. Served with 5 pieces of crostini.
A crispy, golden Milanese Bone-in Pork Loin cutlet- real juicy and flavorful. Served with a light arugula salad on the side.
Originally wanted to try the limited Casunziei pasta with slow-braised wild boar ragu and mushrooms but was told that all 4 portions were sold out.
Decided to go for the Mafaldine (rippled pasta similar to lasagna but more narrow) with Genovese sauce ie chunks of beef slow-cooked for 12-Hours with loads of onions.
Tiramisu- light, creamy and flawlessly executed. The rabbit biscuit on top was a nice touch; indeed the restaurant was adorned with a lot of rabbit ornaments, as the rabbit is often seen as a symbol for the Dolomites due to its association with the region's natural wildlife and folklore.
In summary: menu was tight but expressive, focusing on regional ingredients and rich, comforting flavors. A true tribute to Northern Italian tradition, delivered with clarity, warmth, and classic technique.
