Meet Pojer e Sandri, a celebrated w**ery nestled in the hills of Trentino, northern Italy. Founded in 1975 by Fiorentino Sandri and Mario Pojer, the estate has earned a reputation for its inventive approach to w**emaking, combining traditional methods with an experimental spirit and a deep appreciation for the agricultural landscape around it.

Beyond w**e, Pojer e Sandri produces an impressive range of artisanal vinegars and fruit syrups, bringing the same attention to raw ingredients, fermentation, and flavor to these pantry staples.

We’re thrilled to feature four of their products throughout our current seasonal menu: white w**e vinegar, red w**e vinegar, quince vinegar, and quince syrup. Each brings its own distinctive balance of acidity, sweetness, and complexity to Chef Lauren’s latest seasonal dishes ❤️

With Bosc pears back in season, one of our favorite autumn desserts has made its return to the menu! Our Pere al Forno is a true seasonal delicacy, making the most of these wonderful pears while they’re at their best.

Roasted in the same wood-fired oven we use to bake our pizzas, these pears develop a beautiful caramelization that brings out immense natural sweetness. We serve them atop a rich almond mascarpone crema, then finish with amaretti crumble and a drizzle of caramel. Sweet, crunchy, and decadent, just how we like it.

We’re happy to have this one back🍐❤️

The class will also explore a few other styles of meatballs, including a vegetarian version, before preparing red sauce and pasta and sitting down to enjoy it all together.

It’s all about the dough 😉 Made in house daily, our pasta and bread doughs are the backbone of everything we do. Vessels for sauces, spreads, herbs, and all kinds of seasonal flavors, our pastas and bread are the only ingredients that remain unchanged across seasons. See you soon ❤️
