©Hot Dinners

a nose-to-tail italian-inspired restaurant. we focus on whole-animal butchery, hand-rolled pastas, wood-fired breads, and our own in-house salumeria.

an amari-focused cocktail list. our own house-made amaro.

the wine list celebrates low-intervention and classic fine wines from italy, broader europe, and further afield north america.
