Long weekend lunches roll on without anyone pushing you out the door at this bustling Willoughby Road fixture. Thin, blistered pizzas emerge alongside plates of crab gnocchi and vodka pasta with melted burrata. Groups drop in late into the evening for a glass of wine, glasses of tiramisu, and house-churned gelato—scooping traditional flavors and dairy-free options onto crisp wafers.
- Scratch-Made Gelato Program: House-made dairy scoops and dairy-free sorbets are churned on-site and served for dine-in dessert or takeaway cones.
- Late-Night Dessert and Dining: Tables accommodate walk-in groups and dessert-only drop-ins well into the night.
- Unhurried Group Gatherings: Spacious communal seating and an unhurried floor pace cater smoothly to multi-generational family gatherings.
