osteria wine bar
Sample Late Summer/Early Fall 2010
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 have also built a winter garden as well so that we may offer our own fresh greens and root vegetables through
the winter season.

la pizza toscana
in summer and autumn
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. We continually expand 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. Our recipes are in the tradition of cucina casareccia--Italian "homecooking", and 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.
