In October of 1976, I was fortunate enough to share with you the art of Italian cuisine and my family's long-shared traditions. My culinary experiences began in my home in Duronia, Italy and have been carried all the way to you in downtown Dayton's Historic Oregon District. My staff and I have carefully orchestrated each menu item to make each meal a very enjoyable and special event.
I hope you discover the happiness and beauty of our savory and delectable menu and wish you a good appetite or, as we say in Italian, "Buon Appetito!"

Enjoy an evening with family and friends experiencing the warmth and laughter that inspired Franco to open his restaurant. Franco will help you develop a menu (up to 4 courses), give you the list of ingredients to purchase, make wine recommendations, then come to your home to prepare it. Work alongside Franco and learn firsthand the secrets to a great Italian meal or sit back with a glass of wine and watch the creative process.
