Dining here is a celebration of flavor, community, and place. Scratch-made sauces and dishes, pizzas, timeless Italian flavors, and fresh seasonal ingredients — all paired with our award-winning wine.

Scratch-made, every day

Italian, by way of the Texas Hill Country

From soft focaccia and creamy burrata to slow-simmered ragù and balsamic-finished prosciutto pizza, every dish is prepared with sauces our chef makes from scratch. Pull up a chair among the vines.

Eat & drink together

Every dish has a pour

Our wines are made to sit beside this food — the Tempranillo with the Bolognese, the sparkling with brunch, the Cabernet with anything off the grill. Let your server build the pairing, or book the tasting and explore the cellar first.
