Pair your noodles with marinara, meat sauce, Alfredo, creamy portobello marsala and Arrabiatta, a spicy marinara with sauteed garlic, house-made chili-infused olive oil and red chili flakes. Baked Tuscan penne, cheese penne with meat sauce and lasagna are some of stars of the house specialty pasta menu.

Rack of lamb, veal piccata, veal marsala, pork gorgonzola dolce, wild king salmon champenoise and New Orleans shrimp etouffee with large black tiger prawns and vegetables sauteed in a deep rich sauce with a pinch of spice are some of the offerings on the menu, which is constantly changing.

For a starter, we recommend the French onion soup and escargot de ma grand-mere.
