From the prized Chicken Parm to the homemade meatballs to the Spicy Rotini, the menu is inspired by the cooking Michelin-starred chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi ate growing up. The goal is to make the best versions of these recognizable dishes while remaining faithful to their history—and to serve them in a fun, familial environment.

Open Sunday – Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday – Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
