Order the Di Parma and the kitchen serves your prosciutto elevated on a wooden board over the crust, keeping the base crisp until you fold each slice together. Past the oven, tables share pillowy 48-hour gnocchi, porcini pasta cooked firm to the bite, and house-made chilli oil kept within arm's reach.

Experience award-winning wood-fired pizza and handmade gnocchi crafted with time-honored discipline. Reserve your table early to guarantee your spot.
48-Hour Naturally Fermented Crust

Beyond the menu
Thoughtful culinary rituals, educational masterclasses, and warm hospitality that turn dining into an occasionโbook your table early to secure your spot.
Elevated Di Parma Plating
The Di Parma arrives with a generous mound of premium prosciutto di Parma served on a wooden board suspended directly over the hot pizza base, letting you drape the cured meat yourself at the exact temperature you prefer.
Masterclass Take-Home Kits
Participants in the gnocchi masterclass are treated to a relaxed gluten-free gnocchi lunch with wine, then sent home with custom goodie bags containing pre-weighed ingredients to recreate the recipe at home.
Imported Italian Soda Curation
Staying staunchly faithful to Italian dining culture, the beverage list intentionally eschews ubiquitous commercial soft drinks like Coca-Cola in favor of traditional Italian sodas.
Celebratory Birthday Gestures
The floor team turns family milestones into shared dining room moments, personally delivering candles in birthday desserts and joining in song with guests.

Reserve Ahead Across All Days

Drape the Di Parma Prosciutto to Taste

Explore Broad Dietary & Spice Options
The kitchen accommodates vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diners with easeโfrom eggplant burrata pizza to gorgonzola gnocchi. If you enjoy extra heat, ask for a drizzle of their signature house-made chilli oil.
