We wanted to highlight one of our most popular win

We wanted to highlight one of our most popular wines that we serve by both the glass and by the bottle.
.
Ronchedone Vino Rosso
.
In the area where the first morainic hills rise, remarkably substantial and powerful red wines are obtained and Ronchedone is the ultimate demonstration of this. Highly popular from the moment it began to be realised that certain zones and certain microclimates were suitable to obtain a wine like this. Marzemino, Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet make this a wine that cannot pass by unnoticed. Very rich on the nose with hints of red fruit, crushed blueberries, Marasca cherries in alcohol, balsamic and jam aromas. On the palate, it is powerful and incisive, clean, savoury with the fine acidity that is the mark of the land of Benaco. Perfect to accompany medium to well-cooked red meats, game of feather and fur, seasoned cheeses, rich pasta and soup with meat.

Join us for lunch today!!

Chicken Cacciatore: Cacciatore means “hunter’s style” in Italian. Here we take Joyce Farms chicken breast that has been pounded to an even thickness, grilled, and placed on top of polenta cake. A sauce consisting of onions, garlic, carrot, and San Marzano style tomatoes are prepared, then set aside. We then take mushrooms and sauteed them with shallot and thyme in white wine. The tomato based sauce is mixed with the mushrooms and white wine before this sauce is poured over the chicken breast to finish our chicken cacciatora.

Join us for lunch today!

Porky Pizza!
Here we have a base of tomato sauce and mozzarella topped with spicy salami, house made sausage and bacon. Now our traditional Italian pizzas use the highest grade flour from Italy for our pizza dough. This high ph flour is one of the keys to our light and crispy pizzas. We spread a thin layer of sauce on the dough to start. From there we add the ingredients for one of our signature Italian pizzas followed by crumbled pieces of mozzarella. As the pizza cooks in the oven the crumbles of mozzarella melt creating a thin layer of cheese. Now many of our first time guest are suprised to discover that we serve our pizzas uncut. We do this for a few reason. First of course this is how your pizza would be served in Marco's home country. Second by not cutting the pizza that thin layer of cheese traps the heat keeping our thin pizzas hot for much longer. Finally this allows you to decide the size of your slice. Marco says that his mother always cuts eight slices from her pizza, Marco always cuts seven slices from his pizza and his brother Luca only cuts his pizza into two slices. Our servers of course are more than happy to slice your pizza table side upon request. While our American servers are getting quicker ever service none are quite as fast as Marco at cutting your pizza table side.
