Description
Since 2010, owners Fabio and Ciro Casella have anchored the space with Campania classics and traditional starters. Meals often begin with melanzane or bread paired with a popular dipping olive oil, leading into hearty mains like rigatoni bolognese and pasta genovese. Alongside the standard pies, options like the vestuti pizza and a prosciutto-topped version with fluffy dough keep the menu varied. Dining takes place across both indoor and outdoor seating areas.
