Reservations & Visits
Do you take reservations?
Yes. We strongly recommend booking in advance, especially for weekends and holidays. Reservations can be made online or by phone.
Can I book a table for a large group?
Yes. For parties of 8 or more, please contact us directly so we can prepare the right space and plan a set menu for your group.
How far in advance should I book?
For weeknights, a day or two is usually enough. For Friday and Saturday evenings, we recommend booking at least one week ahead.
Do you offer outdoor seating?
Yes. Our Al Fresco Terrace is available seasonally and can be requested at the time of booking, subject to weather and availability.
Is the restaurant family-friendly?
Absolutely. Children are welcome at every table, and we’re happy to provide high chairs and smaller portions on request.
Do you have a dress code?
Smart casual. We want you comfortable — please leave the sportswear for after dinner.

Menu & Dietary
Do you offer vegetarian or vegan options?
Yes. You’ll find vegetarian dishes among our salads, pizzas and pastas, and our pasta can be made vegan or gluten-free on request. Please ask your server — our kitchen is shared, so we can’t guarantee any dish is free of animal products or allergens.
Can you accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, or other dietary needs?
Gluten-free and vegan pasta are available on request, and your server will check any dish with the kitchen. Please mention any allergy when you book and again when you order. Our kitchen is shared, so we can’t guarantee that any dish is allergen-free. See our Allergen & Dietary Notice.
Where do your ingredients come from?
We work with local Sonoma County farms whenever possible, and import select Italian staples — olive oil, cheeses, cured meats — directly from small producers.
Is your pasta really handmade?
Yes. All of our pasta is made fresh in-house daily, by hand, the traditional way.
Do you have a kids' menu?
We don’t print one, but we’re happy to prepare simple pasta, pizza, or grilled options for younger guests at a fair price.
Do you offer wine pairings?
Yes. Our team is happy to recommend wine pairings by the glass or bottle alongside your menu — just ask.
Pricing & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit and debit cards, contactless payments (Apple Pay / Google Pay), and cash. We do not split checks more than four ways per table.
Is gratuity included?
Gratuity is at your discretion for parties of 4 or fewer. For groups of 5 or more, a 20% service charge is added automatically and shared with the team.
Do you charge a corkage fee?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring up to 3 bottles from your personal collection for a $25 per bottle corkage fee. The fee is waived for each bottle you purchase from our wine list — so if you bring two and buy one from us, one of your bottles is complimentary. Wines brought in should not be already featured on our list.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. Gift cards are available in person at the restaurant and can be used for dining and private events.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or changes. For large parties and private events, separate terms apply and are confirmed at booking.

Do you offer catering or takeaway?
Takeaway is available for most of our dinner menu. Off-site catering is offered by arrangement — please contact us with your date and guest count.
Can I bring my own cake for a special occasion?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring a cake from an outside bakery; a small plating fee may apply. Let us know in advance and we’ll handle the rest.
Do you have daily specials?
Yes — your server will share the day’s specials at your table. To begin the evening the Italian way, try one of our wine-based aperitivi, such as Cocchi Americano, Cappelletti or Carpano Bianco.
