CRAFT COCKTAIL BAR
Every libation achieves that elusive whimsical medley & craft defining balance of tantalizing taste perfection.
Ricordati una cosa a' NONNA, un giorno la NONNA non ci sarà più. E io voglio che tu devi fare tutte le cose che fa la NONNA!
Remember darling, one day Nonna won't be here anymore. And when that day comes, I want you to be able to do all the things that Nonna does!
What connection runs deeper than food and family? I can't think of any!
When you taste something you remember, it awakens your sense of identity, reminding you of where you came from & ignites memories of being cared for and especially spoiled by Nonna.
All of our recipes come from a lifetime spent in the cucina, taking simple ingredients and transforming them into something magnifico!
Each recipe has a history... a story.. and our restaurant is full of BOTH!

His first experience outside of his home country started in New York City, where he opened Il Gelatone, the first homemade Italian Gelato Shop in Manhattan. The store became an overnight success and began distributing to New York’s finest groceries and restaurants, including Dean and Deluca.
For several years he owned and managed Firenze Osteria, Toluca Lake, California and Café Firenze, Moorpark, California overseeing all restaurant and bar operations. He was constantly polishing the skills of his staff, infusing them with attitudes of warmth, dignity and grace.
