We've finally caved and decided to make a tiramisu. There have been more requests for us to make this over the last four years of business (isn't that something spectacular in itself?!) than anything else... So, here it is. We've not strayed too far from tradition with our Tiramisu, and the reasoning behind that is the same we'd apply if we had a Ferrari... Perfection doesn't need a makeover!
From $34.00
Cacio e Pepe will remain a staple in our home, and in yours. A simple pecorino and pepper fonduta is folded into golden semolina pasta to create a signature dish that we're sure you're going to love. NOTE: Our Tortellini Cacio e Pepe doesn't come with a sauce included, but we recommend you purchase our Burnt Butter & Sage as an accompaniment!
From $18.00
Hand cut Spaghetti alla Chitarra (this incredible wire pasta cutter that looks somewhat like guitar strings!), resulting in a slightly more rough cut spaghetti, perfect for clinging onto all of that delicious sauce.
From $18.00
Thicker and richer than other thinly cut pasta, pappardelle is a thick ribbon pasta with a nice bite, as per usual Al Dente style. It goes brilliantly with ragù, or whichever sauce you see fit.

Simple is best when it comes to Italian food and it doesn’t come simpler or better than our rich napoli, with the natural sweetness of tomatoes, onions and a touch of garlic and basil. It’s great with any of our pastas.
From $30.00
This is a traditional bolognese made with beef for body and flavour and pork for sweet softness. It's slow-cooked to meld the flavours properly just like nonna would do.
Small $14.003-4 Serves
Italians know that simple often means best - this burnt butter and sage sauce is the perfect herby, toasty dressing for filled pasta. You can also let it melt over grilled meats or potatoes for a luxe finish.
