In October of 1976, I was fortunate enough to share with you the art of Italian cuisine and my family's long-shared traditions. My culinary experiences began in my home in Duronia, Italy and have been carried all the way to you in downtown Dayton's Historic Oregon District. My staff and I have carefully orchestrated each menu item to make each meal a very enjoyable and special event.
I hope you discover the happiness and beauty of our savory and delectable menu and wish you a good appetite or, as we say in Italian, "Buon Appetito!"
