Family meals, dietary choices and the courtyard
The operator welcomes children, provides high chairs and offers familiar Italian dishes or simplified versions of menu recipes. That gives older children and mixed-age groups several ways to structure a central meal. Vegetarian and vegan choices are advertised, with specific allergies and dietary requests discussed in advance. During warmer months, the planted courtyard provides an outdoor alternative; groups, celebrations and private events can request tailored arrangements.
