We've updated our wine list with a fantastic collection of reds - perfect for Italian food and fall.
Dolcetto from Vietti - black cherry, raspberry, and with a hint of blueberry, this un-oaked wine is medium bodied with soft tannins, moderate acidity, and good balance.

Tuesdays @ 6:30 starting 3/19 through 5/21

And you’ll enjoy small bites paired with each wine.

Zucchini Blossoms
That special time of the year when we turn blooms into the best food!
The unusually cold and wet spring delayed the start of zucchini blossom season this year, but we are officially kicking it off today! A limited number of the first blossoms of the season are finally here. But come early — they probably won’t last the night!

Come in and have a glass of wine from our fall collection.
This excellent Nebbiolo is bold, structured and silky (not a word you usually hear with Nebbiolo). Vajra does an incredible job coaxing so much out of a hearty grape that usually needs years to sit down and mellow out. #redwine #newhavenpizza #naplitanapizza #italianfood #cocktails #bacari #alfornooldsaybrook #alfornoct
This weekend get a slice of our famous Olive Oil Cake
From the “Mad Butcher” of Panzano, recreated with real Italian vanilla and fresh oranges. Light & delicious.
