Menu & Wine

Food

Our menu is a combination of modern Italian cuisine and traditional regional and Piedmontese recipes.

A large range of Pedmontese cheeses are server with truffle honely or fruit & nuts.  We also have many dishes with wild mushrooms and a selection of handmade chocolates from the best chocolatiers in Turin.

Wine

The all Italian wine list has been carefully chosen to show the great diversity of styles and varieties which make Italian wines so interesting.

We offer the best quality wines in each category both in terms of price and character.

We, of course, specialise in the wines of Piedmont with over 10 Barolos and Barbarescos offered.

Tuscany is strongly present and most areas of Italy are also represented.

A wide choice of Italian 'after dinner drinks' are available from Vin Santo, Barolo Chinato, Limoncello and we especially feature Grappa of which we always have a large selection on offer.

Grappa is made with the must of grapes after the wine making process has finished.  Most areas in Norther Italy make grappa with the best known being Trentino, Veneto and Piedmont.

Grappe bianche are in their natural state as they leave the still, although they may be aged.  Grappe gialle after distilling they spend some time in wooden casks which gives them their amber colour and smoothes them out somewhat.

Another variable is the grape variety from which the grappe is distilled with each grape giving the grappa its own inidividual characteristics.  Much depends also on the distillers themselves.

Many famous wine producers make their own grappa from the must of their excellent wines.  They are premium products and justifiably highly regarded.  There are also specialist grappa producers, the best of which have turned grappa into an increasingly popular and internationally appreciated after dinner spirit.
