A taste of Red: Our culinary journey
The Playbill
First Impressions
Fresh, bold, and spirited. Crafted to spark the evening.
Earth and Embers (Stuffed Mushrooms)
Italian cheese, italian sausage, seasoning, breadcrumbs. Demi glace and a white wine sauce.
Smoke, Citron and Pesto (Grilled Artichokes)
Steamed with fresh lemon, char-grilled to perfection, and elegantly topped with a bright house basil pesto. Served alongside a velvety aioli for a striking, vibrant start.
Pork, Iron and Vine (Meatballs)
Traditional comfort with a refined edge. House-blended Italian pork, savory seasonings, and cheeses, hand-rolled and slow-simmered in a rich, homemade marinara sauce. Finished with a bright tear of fresh basil.
Silk, Herb and Hearth (Bruschetta)
A study in warmth. Creamy, whipped goat cheese infused with fresh garden herbs, served warm alongside crisp, fire-toasted artisan crostini. A smooth, sophisticated start with a delicate tang.
Leaves and Broth
Fresh, crisp, and beautifully structured. A prelude of bright acid and classic comfort.
Greens, Cured and Citron (Chopped Salad)
A symphony of crisp textures. A vibrant medley of fresh arugula, spinach, and romaine tossed with rich prosciutto, savory olives, and tangy pepperoncini. Dressed in a bright, housemade Italian lemon vinaigrette.
Lace and Romano (Caesar Salad)
Crisp luxury. Vibrant romaine ribbons bathed in a rich, bright lemon Caesar dressing, punctuated by the dramatic crunch of toasted focaccia and a sharp bite of shaved Pecorino-Romano. Intensely satisfying.
Broth, Silk and Blossom (Tortellini Soup)
A masterwork in comfort. A rich, deeply structured tomato and fresh basil broth, cradling tender, cheese-filled tortellini pillows. Warm, vibrant, and beautifully refined.
The Scripted Grain
Time-honored foundations, reimagined with a modern twist.
The Spicy Squeeze (Lasagna)
A beautiful collision of heat and silk. This Lasagna packs a punch with sweet-spicy sausage and Arrabbiata sauce, lightened up with a "squeeze" of lemon ricotta and topped with our signature creamy vodka sauce.
Maize, Velvet and Basil (Gnocchi)
A study in seasonal contrast. Pillow-soft, toasted potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, aromatic summer basil pesto. Punctuated by the sweet, fire-kissed snap of charred grilled corn. Light, textured, and deeply flavorful.
Peppercorn, Iron and Romano (Cacio e Pepe)
Romano Cheese and Pepper
An intense study in minimalism. Thick, hollow-centered bucatini strands tossed in a luxurious, velvety emulsion of sharp Pecorino Romano and finished with a bold, aggressive bloom of fresh-cracked black peppercorns. Smooth, sharp, and unapologetically rich.
Sun, Garlic and Cream (Burrata Pasta)
Power in pristine ingredients. A vibrant garlic and olive oil emulsion cradling charred, blistered garden tomatoes and a rustic tomato sauce. Finished with the decadent, buttery wealth of whole fresh burrata and pappardelle pasta. Pure, elevated simplicity.
The Main Act
Executed with premium refinement
Lemon, Lace and Earth (Chicken Piccata)
Golden pan seared chicken breast bathed in a delicate white wine and lemon-butter reduction, accented with capers and mushrooms. Served with your choice of Italian Mashed or Linguine.
Dust & Decadence (Chicken Marsala)
Pan Seared chicken smothered in a velvety, caramelized sweet marsala wine reduction and earthy mushrooms. Finished with a bold touch of garlic, butter and cream, a rich, savory depth that is beautifully complex. Italian Mashed or Linguine.
In Here We're all Texans (Steaks)
Texas scale meets Italian execution. An exceptional 8oz Filet or 12oz Ribeye, finished with your choice of our signature bold espresso crust or a classic salt-and-pepper sear. Finished with either a rich demi-glace reduction or a decadent pool of Italian herbed butter. Accompanied by creamy Italian mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.
Linguine in High Heels (Shrimp)
Succulent shrimp meets the sharp tang of lemon and feta in a shimmering white wine sauce. Served over silken linguine with fresh spinach and a touch of red chili flakes.
Velvet on the Coast (Sea Bass)
A study in texture. Flaky, pan-seared sea bass meets the luxurious elegance of a simple, creamy risotto. Brightened with Sicilian tomatoes and a deeply savory eggplant caponata. Unapologetically refined.
Chef's Monologue
Devil in the Details (Shrimp)
Pan-seared shrimp immersed in a fiery, crushed red pepper tomato sauce, served over perfectly al dente linguine. Bold, spirited, and unapologetically sharp.
The Midnight Braise (Lamb)
Bold, rustic, and refined. Osso buco-style shanks submerged in a dark red wine reduction and slow-simmered alongside hearty root vegetables. Finished over a smooth, velvet wave of stone-ground polenta. Unapologetically rich.
Gold, Shell and Silk (Lobster)
2
A testament in patience. Rich Arborio rice slow-simmered in a deep seafood broth, folded with sweet, tender lobster tail and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Luxuriously creamy, elegant, and deeply comforting.
The Final Soliloquy
Velvet, Cinder and Cherry (Cheesecake)
Decadence with an edge. A rich, traditional ricotta-style cheesecake infused with sweet amaretto liqueur, crowned with a vibrant, slow-simmered drunken bourbon-cherry sauce. A refined classic, reimagined.
Fire and Frost (Bananas Foster)
A masterclass in contrast. Warm, caramelized bananas ignited table-side with amaretto, cascading over a frozen, velvet bed of house-made vanilla gelato. Rich, spirited, and beautiful.
Velvet and Snap (Panna Cotta)
2
Smooth luxury with an unexpected edge. Silken, dark chocolate-kissed cooked cream finished with the warm, aromatic crunch of a house-made spiced pepita brittle. Intensely satisfying.
