Paccheri al Ragù di Totani e Mandorle Tostate
This dish is a deconstructed take on a classic Caprese recipe: stuffed squid with caciotta cheese and marjoram. Here they serve paccheri with a squid ragù, finished with a fondue of caciotta and topped with toasted almonds — a nod to the almond used in Caprese cake. The squid is local, caught just off the coast. It's one of their most popular dishes, along with the lemon risotto.
Risotto al Limone
This lemon risotto is a long-standing classic of the restaurant, one of the most requested dishes by customers.
