This is the menu dated 24 February 2026, as printed in the room. It is short by design — one page of food that a small kitchen can send out properly on a full Saturday.
Antipasti are where an evening here starts. Rustic Bread & Spread ($10) comes with garlic-herb olive oil and roasted tomato pesto over toasted country bread. Burrata Bruschetta ($12) tops fresh burrata with roasted garlic and tomato chutney. Classic Meatballs ($9) are blended beef and pork under mozzarella and provolone in house-made marinara. Stuffed Mushrooms ($12) hold an Italian sausage blend, parmesan and herbs under aged balsamic.
Two more worth knowing: the Charcuterie Board ($19) is chef-choice — three gourmet cheeses, prosciutto and a selected cured meat with pickled vegetables, crackers, grapes and whatever accompaniments the kitchen likes that week. Tuscan Fig & Cheese Crostini ($9) pairs prosciutto and fig jam with goat cheese and balsamic glaze, and the Herb-Whipped Ricotta Crostini ($9) is roasted tomato over whipped ricotta. Wine Bar Mixed Nuts are $9.
Insalata is four salads at $12: Heirloom Tomato Caprese with burrata and balsamic glaze, a Caesar with shaved romaine and parmesan, Arugula & Pear with roasted pears, crispy prosciutto and goat cheese, and Insalata Due Formaggi with shaved iceberg, rainbow radish, mozzarella and provolone — also served small at $8.99. Chicken can be added for $3.
Pizzaiolo is the heart of it. Margherita, Tuscan Chicken Pesto, Classic Pepperoni, Truffled Wild Mushroom and Ai Cetriolini are $17; Braised Short Rib is $18; the 6-inch personal pan is $10. Create Your Own is $17 and starts with a base — creamy white wine, classic marinara, pesto or garlic butter — then up to three toppings, one signature dipping sauce, proteins at $3, cauliflower crust for $5 and vegan cheese for $1.
Panini come on rustic ciabatta pressed until it crackles: Classic Meatball ($13.99) with burrata and provolone, Garden Pesto ($11.99) with burrata, cherry tomatoes and arugula under balsamic, and Braised Short Rib ($14.99) with giardiniera relish and melted provolone and mozzarella. Dolce is one item, tiramisu at $11 — coffee-soaked ladyfingers, whipped mascarpone, dusted cocoa.
Prices above are transcribed from the printed menu dated 24 February 2026. Antipasti run $9 to $19, salads $12 (or $8.99 for the small Due Formaggi), pizzas $10 to $18, panini $11.99 to $14.99 and dessert $11. Add-ons are printed too: proteins $3, cauliflower crust $5, vegan cheese $1, chicken on a salad $3.
There is no running specials board on this page. If the kitchen is doing something off-menu on a given night, it will be in the room, not here.
Order in the room from the printed menu — at a table or from a seat at the bar — or online, through Toast for pickup and DoorDash for delivery or pickup. Pizzas are made to order, so on a busy night put in an antipasto with the pizza rather than after it.
The full menu is available whenever the room is open: Monday to Thursday 4–11pm, Friday from 4pm until midnight, Saturday from 11am until midnight, and Sunday 11am to 9pm. Sunday afternoon is the calmest stretch for a long lunch off the same list.
