Synonymous with thoughts of Italy are the thoughts of rich, decadent desserts, like panna cotta! Wouldn't you agree?

Panna cotta, coming from the Italian for "cooked cream", is a deliciously simple and creamy Italian dessert. The beauty of this dessert is that, even though it is so simple, it embodies a richness and decadence that is the perfect finishing touch to the meal.

And we'd like to think that panna cotta is the perfect metaphor of the authentic Italian experience: simple, fresh ingredients that together create that gioia di vivere so natural to Italians!

That perfect blend of cream, sugar, and vanilla flavours, panna cotta is a delicious culinary experience your taste buds are craving to have! ;)

It's a beautiful Monday evening and the week is sure to be wonderfully sunny. Got any special dinner plans? You're going to want to make some! ;)

We talk often here of the authenticity of Chef Claudio's cuisine. Now we'd like to show you. Here's a short video tour of our restaurant that even gives you a glimpse of the master at work in his kitchen!

Enjoy!

Whether a sophisticated appetizer or the parting glass to a meal, the wine and cheese combination is a classic...

Chardonnay, Merlot or Riesling; malbec, rosé or Chianti and... what?! Why not cheese! But how do you choose from among the infinite number of choices of wines (of which we have many and definitely worth a trip to our lovely and humble restaurant to enjoy!) and the many sticky mild to strong, crumbly dairy delights?

Well we found a little infographic that helps pair cheeses with their perfect wine partners! We recommend a delicious Italian chianti with parmigiana.
