About Us
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. In those rare instances when we might not meet your expectations, I promise two things: First, that it was not for lack of effort, for negligence or merely for dereliction of duty. Second, that we will try even harder next time. We might not always succeed but we will absolutely always try. As the proverb goes; if at first you don't succeed... you know the rest.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.

Sicilian Wine Dinner

Please join us on Sunday, August 25th at 5:30pm for a 5-course wine dinner featuring the delicious food and wines of the beautiful island of Sicily (the largest in the Mediterranean). This is a magical place scented with citrus fruits and spices, a fertile land surrounded by a beautiful sea teeming with all sorts of fish and crustaceans. It is a large kitchen in the heart of the Mediterranean that mixes cultures as if they were ingredients, elevating the art of cooking to a true science. A Sicily of pebbles and tropical white sand beaches, of warm and bright transparent seas and rugged volcanic coastlines. The exaltation of the Mediterranean is a serene beauty to behold. Eternal crossroads of the Mediterranean, this gorgeous island continues to seduce travelers with its dazzling diversity of culinary riches, landscapes and cultural treasures. Few places on earth can embrace so many fragrances and flavors as Sicily. Here the Mediterranean diet captures the essence and the deepest synthesis of this island, and symbolizes its quality of life. For this reason the word “diet” , from the Greek diaita, means way of life.
This region’s exotic cuisine is a hybrid of all the cultures that established themselves on the island of Sicily over the last two millennia: French, Greek, Spanish, Persian and Arab influences abound. A delectable layer-cake of culinary influences, a magnificent island with multiple souls sums up the Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Norman grandeur. Sicily's ancient cuisine continues to rely on a few key island-grown ingredients: shellfish and citrus, tuna and swordfish, pistachios, almonds, eggplant and ricotta. It's truly locally sourced food consists of in-season high quality ingredients.
With its ideal climate for grape growing and its nutrient-rich volcanic soils it's no surprise the high quality of its red wines such as Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Frappato, Nerello Mascalese and Nero d’Avola and whites such as Carricante, Catarratto, Grillo and Insolia as well as Zibbibo and Marsala dessert wines.
Thank you,
