It starts with the dough. Full of flavor and easy to digest, our naturally leavened dough made with our proprietary mother, is crafted over five days. To achieve its unique flavor profile, we developed one strain of starter with apricots from a local farm and added a mother starter said to be more than 300 years old – curated from the Neapolitan island of Ischia.
It doesn’t stop at pizza – our focus on in-season, regionally specific and high-quality ingredients has also led to our beloved and unique takes on Sicilian classics and inventive variations on antipasti, insalate, pasta, and beautiful steaks, chops, and fish.
Our expansive beverage program encompasses inventive takes on classic cocktails, an expansive ALL ITALIAN regional wine list, and local and international craft beers. Utilizing ingredients such as blood orange and basil infused grappa, house infused fennel vodka, and fine spirits, you’ll be sure to find both new cocktails and old classics, always done with excellence.
Enjoy a extra special night on the town with LIVE JAZZ on Fridays and Saturdays featuring some of Las Vegas’ finest musicians.
