WINES

 

We have over 150 wines (including half bottles and magnums) from most Italian regions and an extensive “wine by the glass” program. You can choose a “flight” of any four wines from the wines by the glass or we can help you pair the wines with your courses. You can also taste and learn about three wines selected by our sommelier every Monday through Friday during Aperitivo.
