Stasera — This Evening
Seven courses.
One story.
The Menu — Stagionale
A meal that begins
before the first bite.
Seven courses built from what the season allows. Each one arrives with the story of how it got here.
First impression
The warmth hits before you sit — cultured butter softening on heat, a curl of steam from something just arrived.
Benvenuto
Warm focaccia, cultured butter whipped with lemon zest, a smear of nduja for those who ask.
Before the bowl arrives
You smell it from across the room. Thirty-six hours of Chianina bone, roasted onion, a single bay leaf from the garden.
Brodo
Bone broth aged in the pot overnight. Tiny hand-rolled pasta. A spoon of black truffle butter melting on contact.
The sound before the taste
A crack — audible from two tables away. The crust gives. The crumb inside is open, irregular, alive with wild yeast.
Pane
Three-day sourdough, baked in a Dutch oven at dawn. Fennel pollen oil pressed the same week it arrives on the table.
Flour still in the air
A grandmother's wooden board, used every Sunday since 1962. The pasta is hand-pulled, thick enough to have texture, thin enough to feel silk.
Pici all'Aglione
Hand-rolled pici pasta in a slow-cooked garlic and San Marzano tomato sauce. Finished with aged Pecorino di Pienza.

Scent of charred citrus
Lemon halves face-down on iron until black. The smoke carries something floral. The fish arrives underneath, barely touched by heat.
Branzino al Limone Bruciato
Wild sea bass, olive oil pressed this harvest, charred lemon, finocchio selvatico gathered from the hillside that morning.
Weight and warmth
The knife is unnecessary. The bistecca has been resting since the last course ended — patient, dark, ready.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Chianina T-bone, 45-day dry-aged. Rosemary, garlic, Sicilian sea salt. Served with cannellini beans braised in the drippings.
Gold on the spoon
Saffron from Abruzzo, steeped for three hours. The panna cotta trembles when it arrives. You pause before breaking the surface.
Panna Cotta allo Zafferano
Slow-set cream with Abruzzo saffron, aged Acacia honey, and a pour of Vin Santo from a producer we've visited every autumn since 2020.
Patience is the only ingredient you cannot source, substitute, or rush. It is either in the kitchen or the dish suffers.
