The ribeye is another standout among the grilled meats, prepared with the same attention to quality ingredients and lavagrill cooking that defines the entire selection of main courses.
The offering includes an extensive selection dedicated to vegetarian and vegan guests, with dishes designed to guarantee the same care and balance as the traditional preparations.

In the making · The method
Fresh pasta is prepared daily in-house, following the traditional methods of Italian craftsmanship. The dough is worked with care to achieve the right consistency and shaped into the classic formats of regional cuisine.
Meats are cooked on a lavagrill, a tool that allows for even cooking while preserving the meat's natural juices. The technique requires constant attention to respect the timing of each cut and ensure the optimal result.
The kitchen is built on fresh daily ingredients, carefully selected for quality and provenance. This approach allows dishes to be adapted to seasonality while maintaining high quality standards.
