Selections from the dining room

A representative cross-section of the current menu. Dishes change with the season and with what arrives in the kitchen each morning, so the list below moves with us.

I.

Antipasti

Small plates to begin — raw, cured, and warm. Built for sharing across the table while the wine settles.

Steak Tartare

Hand-cut beef, classic accompaniments, served cold and dressed table-side in spirit.

Seasonal

Lobster Bisque

A long, slow stock built on shells and aromatics — finished with cream and a turn of pepper.

Seasonal

Prosciutto & Fresh Mozzarella

Thinly sliced cured ham over fior di latte, finished with olive oil and cracked pepper.

Classico

Assorted Oysters

A daily selection from the Pacific coast — mignonette, lemon, and a sip of something cold.

Daily

Seared Scallops

Day-boat scallops, seared and finished with a seasonal accompaniment from the garden.

Seasonal

Dungeness Crab

Fresh, lightly dressed, and served in the simplest way that lets the crab speak first.

When Available
II.

Pasta

Rolled, cut, and shaped in our kitchen each afternoon. The shape and the sauce shift with the week.

House-made ravioli filled with foraged mushrooms, finished in butter with shaved brussels.

Signature

Seasonal Tagliatelle

Long, ribbon-cut pasta dressed by what the kitchen is working with that week.

Seasonal

House Pappardelle

Wide, hand-cut pasta with a slow-built ragù — the answer when the night turns cold.

Seasonal

Risotto del Giorno

Carnaroli, stirred to order, finished with what is best from the morning's delivery.

Daily
III.

Secondi

Premium meats, fresh seafood, and considered preparations — the deliberate center of the meal.

Pork Shoulder with Truffles

Slow-braised until it gives way, finished with shaved truffle and a glossed pan jus.

Signature

Duck

Crisped skin, rosy center, seasonal accompaniment — built for the prix fixe but available on its own.

Seasonal

Prawns

Plated simply — heat, salt, and the right oil — letting the sweetness of fresh shellfish lead.

From the Coast

Catch of the Day

A whole or filleted fish — preparation guided by the morning's delivery and the season.

Daily
IV.

Dolci

A short, considered list — composed in the kitchen and built to close out the evening with quiet precision.

Port Wine Pear Panna Cotta

Silken, slow-set cream with a port-poached pear — sweet, but never loud.

Signature

Chocolate with Hazelnut

A dark chocolate composition with hazelnut — the way it should be at the end of a long meal.

Classico

Gelato with Caramel

A single, generous scoop with a slow caramel — the quiet way to end an evening.

House

Affogato

Espresso over vanilla gelato — a simple ritual, served the way Italians like it.

House
Vini

A curated list, written by region.

Our wine program walks the length of Italy — Piemonte, Toscana, Veneto, Sicilia — with a tight selection from neighbors here in the Pacific Northwest. We pour by the glass, the half-bottle, and the full bottle, and we are happy to pair a glass to each course of the prix fixe.
