Est. 2002 · 3rd Street, Harrisburg

A little corner of Italy on 3rd Street.

Serving the classics the way they were taught, and a few the family made its own.

A Scratch Kitchen in the Heart of Harrisburg

Twenty years of doing it the hard way, because it tastes better.

With more than twenty years cooking in some of the finest kitchens, our chef brought his vision home to Harrisburg. Every plate that leaves our kitchen carries that experience.

We refuse to compromise on quality, so we source our ingredients fresh from local farmers' markets. The menu changes with the seasons, and alongside the traditionals our chefs are always cooking up something new.

Bring your own bottle, settle in, and let our staff take care of the rest.

Fully BYOB. Bring the bottle you have been saving and we will pour it right.
