*NEW* Tour of Italy Arancini Flight – $8.99
tomato basil with marinara, mushroom with garlic cream sauce, and seafood served with basil pesto
An overall failure of a dish. The arancini were mushy, and the sauces weren’t very good.
This arancina was seafood with basil pesto.
This one was mushroom with garlic cream sauce.
This one was tomato basil with marinara.
Some of us liked the pesto, but otherwise, no one in our party was a fan of this.
*NEW* Gelato Stuffed Pressed Brioche – $6.29
Ice cream sandwich pressed to order in your choice of Oreo and mint, Nutella and vanilla, or strawberry
All three gelato stuffed pressed brioche sandwiches were amazing.
Oreo and Mint
The brioche was soft but slightly crispy with a sweet, rich center of ice cream.
Strawberry
Nutella
The Nutella reminded us of a fried Oreo.
While we all had our individual favorites, we agreed you couldn’t go wrong with any of them.
Bollini Pinot Grigio (ABV 13.5%) – $7.50 for 3 oz., $14 for 6 oz
intense varietal aromas with a fragrant bouquet and elegant, fruity, and floral flavors

notes of red fruit, cherry, raspberry, and strawberry
Fantinel Extra Dry Prosecco (ABV 11.5%) – $6.50 for 3 oz., $11 for 6 oz.
exotic stone fruits and nutty elements combine with bright minerality and the scent of wet slate
