July Specials

July Wine of the Month: Our July feature comes to us from the the island of Sardinia belonging to Italy. Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean and lies roughly 190 miles west of Italy's mainland. Costera is made from the Cannonau grape more commonly known as Grenache. It has been hypothozied that the wine made from the Cannonau is one of the reasons the island has nearly 10 times more centenarians per capita than the United States!

The wine shows flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs and spices. The warmth and sunshine of Sardinia is present in the wine with a deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla.  $9.00 a glass or $34 a bottle.

July 4th Weekend Special

Chicken Vesuvio Weekend!!

Every complete first weekend of the month (Friday must be included) we offer Clara's Chicken Vesuvio handed down from her mother Celeste. We bake our fresh chicken in a white wine and herb sauce with onions, mushrooms, and green and red peppers accompanied with roasted red potatoes. We also offer a complimentary soup or salad to start. This dish is priced at $16.25 for regular Chicken Vesuvio or $17.25 for Breast only.

July Special

Crab Stuffed Shells

We stuff our homemade shell pasta with lump crab, ricotta, marscarpone, leaks and carrots then back in a champagne cream sauce and topped with fresh goat cheese. It will pair wonderfully with our July wine, Costera. Soup or salad to start. $21.95

Gnocchi Wednesday

We spend all day peeling potatoes to make this traditional potato pasta. We recommend the gnocchi in tomato cream sauce with spinach and goat cheese, and will offer this combo for $15.95. This order will come with soup or salad to start.
If you like, though, we will offer the gnocchi with any of our homemade sauces.

Wednesday - Every Wednesday (except holidays) is "Wine Appreciation Wednesday" where every full bottle of wine $80 or less is offered at half price.

Thirsty Thursdays. Every Thursday, except on holidays, every glass of wine, all day long, will be offered to everyone for half the price.
