Our story

Luca grew up in his grandmother’s kitchen outside Bologna and cooked in Turin and Philadelphia before opening on Route 33 in 2011. Marta runs the front of house and the wine list, and still writes the specials board by hand. The room seats fifty-two, plus a private room for twenty-four that fills up most Saturdays.
