Authentic Italian dishes

In Italian cuisine, we believe that good food deserves attention and time; therefore, we cook all our dishes with the utmost dedication. For example, all of our pasta is made fresh daily in our own kitchen. Some of our Italian specialties require hours or even days of preparation time to achieve the perfect taste.

Meat, fish & veg dishes

We serve meat of rustic breeds from the butcher’s shop de Lindenhoff in Baambrugge, among others. The meats are aged for 21 to 23 days and prepared on charcoal in the Josper grill oven specially designed for this purpose. Our fish is sourced from sustainable fisheries, and prepared the Italian way, with our chef’s personal touch. Of course, there are also several vegetarian dishes on the menu.
