The menu at this rustic Italian fine-dining restaurant features seasonal dishes created with locally sourced ingredients. Executive Chef Santos MacDonal is seen from the dining room as he prepares an array of housemade pastas and sauces and other delights. Antipasti might include grilled octopus or heirloom tomatoes with bufala mozzarella. Our choices were a dreamy, creamy burrata salad and a dish of beautifully presented tender fresh scallops. For our mains, I had the house specialty pappardelle with wild boar ragu, and he had fettucine with pork sausage. Both were delicious. Secondi courses of meats and seafood include filet mignon and salmon as well as venison and branzino. A nicely curated selection of local and imported wines enhances the meals.
