Twenty years of handmade pasta

For over twenty years our kitchen has cooked the classics of Tuscany and Piedmont with care: pasta rolled by hand every morning, vegetables from small farms in the Bekaa and olive oil pressed in the Koura hills.

Come for a long lunch, a quiet dinner for two or a celebration with friends.

Good Italian food is simple: the best ingredients, treated with respect. Every plate we serve should taste like the region it comes from.
