    What guests experience

    A chef-guided progression that starts light and builds to a memorable finish. Pacing is intentional (about 2–2.5 hours), with warm, attentive service and table-side descriptions of each course on request.

    Structure
    • Amuse-bouche & Antipasto – a seasonal bite followed by a composed antipasto (e.g., Sea urchin Amuse-bouche, Sicilian caponata with toasted pine nuts, burrata with confit tomatoes, marinated artichokes).
    • Two Primi (fresh pasta) – hand-made pastas in half-portions so guests enjoy two distinct flavors without feeling heavy (e.g., Spaghetti con Bottarga, Strozzapreti “Etna Rosso,”  Rigatoni alla Puttanesca).
    • Secondo (fish or meat) – chef’s market selection, prepared simply to highlight the ingredient (e.g., branzino in crosta di sale, slow-braised beef).

    Upgrades
    • Premium wine pairing (optional): 4–5 pours tailored to the menu—think Etna Bianco/Grillo with seafood and Etna Rosso/Nero d’Avola for the richer courses.
