Come experience authentic Italian cuisine in a casual fine dining atmosphere. Our menu is full of time tested Italian specialties that you can't find in chain restaurants. Family owned, we take pride in serving the best quality foods in a fun yet refined environment.
We use fresh ingredients in our menu, including in house made pasta and herbs we grow on site. We use locally sourced produce whenever possible and all sauces are made from scratch in our kitchen.
This restaurant is run by a husband and wife team and our family members occupy many positions within the restaurant. We pride ourselves on being a small, locally owned and run business.
We love being located in the heart of downtown Pittsboro, where we can be deeply involved in the community around us. We collaborate with local businesses whenever possible and support community events. Come join us on Third Friday, First Sunday and Sunday Sip and Cinema in downtown!
