The Menu

Seasonal. Handcrafted. Unapologetically Italian.

La Cucina di De Novo

Our menu changes with the seasons and the relationships we build with local farmers, regional purveyors, and Italian importers. What you find here is the current expression of our kitchen — always honest, always evolving.

I Vini

The Wine Program

Curated by Master Sommelier Sofia Moreau — an Italian-first collection that celebrates small producers and natural methods.

Our cellar holds over 400 labels with particular depth in Piedmont, Tuscany, and Sicily. We believe wine is not decoration — it is the final ingredient on every table.
