Midtown - Exclusive Chef Spotlight Menu featuring Chef Matthew Peluso: Home is Where the Heart Is

Step into a rustic getaway in Chef Matthew's culinary mind. There is nothing more important in cooking than going back to the basics. This is where we all grew up and where some of our finest memories come from. This menu will do just that- take you back in time to experience some of the more traditional and rustic parts of Italian cuisine. The love for this menu comes from when Chef Matthew worked alongside his Nonni to jar vegetables and cure meat every winter. This is his way to keep traditions and keep things old school.
