osteria wine bar
Sample Spring 2009
the osteria pane e salute gardens
In May 2008, we formally developed our own restaurant gardens at our property in the country. While we are still working with our local farm partners, we have taken this opportunity to grow specific Italian varieties of lettuces, vegetables, and herbs for our menu. We are in the first year of working a winter garden as well so that we may offer our own fresh greens and root vegetables through
the winter season.

la pizza toscana
What follows is a sample of a seasonal menu, and our Tuscan pizza menu. Our kitchen is terroir-driven: We are proud to use as many local and organic ingredients as are available to us from farm fresh eggs to farm-raised poultry and meats, locally and home-grown produce, herbs, and flowers. This year, we have expanded our own gardens to provide specialized produce for the restaurant year-round. Dishes on our menu change weekly, and sometimes daily. In addition to the listed menu, there are always special dishes on offer, and tasting plates for the wine bar. Our recipes have been collected over years of living and traveling in many regions of Italy. We offer the traditional dishes we have been taught in tiny restaurant and home kitchens. All of our dishes are available alla carta, or as our fixed price menu which is comprised of choosing one of each of our four courses. Our kitchen follows the seasons. You will also find on our menu traditional cheeses and cured meats imported from Italy as well as local cheeses and house-cured meats.
