• Antipasto: Start off meals with a sumptuous appetizer, such as the soft, creamy burrata served alongside fire-roasted peppers, arugula, balsamic reduction, and crostini.
• Insalate: The Italian-inspired Toscano salad features mixed greens tossed with mozzarella cheese, olives, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, and polenta croutons, then drizzled with white balsamic.
• Classico: The Cavatelli di Nonna sees organic Gulf shrimp, spinach, roasted red peppers, and garlic sautéed in a light gorgonzola sauce and placed atop a bed of tiny pasta shells.
• Secondi: Tender, boneless bites of grassfed short ribs are the centerpiece of a hearty entree served with a cabernet demi-glace, vegetables, and potato purée.
• New York–style pizza: The simple, yet flavorful Campagnola pie features a thin, New York–style crust topped with mozzarella cheese, sausage, and broccoli rabe.
• Cocktail: Garnished with a maraschino cherry, Bellissimo's Modern Manhattan blends Evan Williams bourbon with Carpano vermouth, Grand Marnier, muddled lemon and lime slices, and cherry juice.
