About the restaurant

A unique Northern Italian dining experience in Margate, Florida.

Northern Italian cuisine can be described as one of the most refined, royal and diversified cuisines of Italy, characterized by the use of fresh stuffed pasta, polenta, risotto, game, truffles, mushrooms, cheeses, and rich hearty soups.

Our menu celebrates the region's diverse flavors and presents them for you to enjoy.
We prepare our homemade pasta fresh everyday which can be paired with a variety of meats and seafood found native to the region.

Our extensive wine collection of over 600 labels - all temperature controlled - highlights multiple regions of Italy, with the main goal of providing a wine list that has a balance of traditional, rare and interesting selections that complements our cucina piemontese.

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve ever been to! There was a line going down the street, all people just waiting to get in! The hostesses were super friendly, even though it was really busy we got sat right away. Our server was Adrian, the absolute best! He was super nice and helpful, and his assistant Jose was amazing!! We ordered a bunch of specials, everything was delicious. Our favorite was the South Philly roast pork, a must have! All in all a fantastic evening in a fantastic restaurant, we will definitely be back!!
