As a passionate proponent of locally-grown

organic produce and seasonal ingredients, Chef/Owner Aldo Vitale maintains close relationships with farmers, fishmongers and butchers to ensure exceedingly fresh ingredients. His attention to detail extends even to our sumptuously appointed dining rooms, steeped in classical Italian tradition, which cabinet-maker-turned-chef Aldo personally craftedcenters chiefly on the premise of simplicity: his delicately-balanced, southern-inspired regional Italian cuisine is influenced greatly

he same time in harmony with the few, carefully-selected ingredients that compliment the dish. This honest approach to food and its preparation allows our Guests to enjoy a dining experience that leaves them feeling satisfied rather than over-indulged due to the excessive use of heavy ingredients such as cream and butter ingredients that mask the true essence of a carefully balanced meal.
