This could be your new favorite Espresso Martini.

Meet “The Mother Wolf.”

This cocktail, named after the she-wolf that (according to legend) raised the founders of Rome, is made using a freshly pulled shot of house espresso shaken cold with Wodka vodka, Frangelico, Borghetti espresso liqueur, demerara, and a dash of Angostura cocoa bitters.

It’s a favorite for a reason.

Join us tonight for Et Tu Mondays and decree a historic trio for yourself: our signature Caesar (crisp little gem lettuce, savory dried-apple anchovy dressing, and a crunchy house everything granola), a side of golden fries, and a perfectly crisp martini.

We follow a fiver rule in our kitchen: use no more than five main components so the ingredients can stand out. For example, our Beets & Ricotta starts with citrus-marinated beets and served with house-made buttermilk ricotta, pistachios, and fresh mint.

Thanks, Michael!

Food and drink exist primarily to serve the purpose of connection. Our Grande Burrata is designed for that - a shared experience for the whole table. It comes with Blue Dog sourdough, estate olive oil, and San Giacomo balsamic vinegar. This shared starter is available seven days a week, whenever we’re open.

Every Sunday during dinner service, every bottle of wine on our list under $75 is half-price all night.

If you are looking for a place to start, try the 2013 Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva from Cosimo Taurino. Based in the Puglia region (the heel of Italy’s boot) the Taurino family winery was a true pioneer, single-handedly helping to put southern Italian winemaking on the global map generations ago. This bottle is a vintage red crafted from the regional Negroamaro grape, offering a savory, earth-driven profile that has been aging for over a decade.

Our Pecan Bomboloni were inspired by classic pecan waffles. We take our bombalone batter, fold in pecans, and deep-fry them into Italian donuts served with 3D Valley Farm maple syrup and whipped mascarpone. These are exclusive to our brunch menu, available Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Cacio e Pepe is the result of nothing going to waste. While the Roman classic is just pecorino and black pepper, we use the buttermilk whey (the liquid left over from our house ricotta) to make the sauce. We extrude the rigatoni in-house to ensure the texture holds the sauce exactly where it should be. It’s available during lunch and dinner.

In Italian, panna cotta translates to “cooked cream.” We’ve given our version a regional signature by using Capriole goat cheese from just across the river in Greenville, Indiana. It’s served with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of San Giacomo saba - grape juice cooked down until it’s thick and raisin-heavy.

Our Caesar is a destination dish for many of our regulars. We make ours with little gem lettuce and a dressing made from dried apples and anchovies. Instead of standard croutons, we use an granola for a savory crunch.

You can enjoy it with a mountain of fries and a martini for $25 every Et Tu Monday. You can book ahead through Resy.
