Est. by candlelight

    A pop-up supper, four nights only

    Seven courses.
    One long table.
    No apologies.

    An Italian dinner the way it was meant to be — slow, loud, candlelit, and a little romantic. You arrive hungry. You leave quoting your grandmother.

    The premise

    We're not a restaurant.
    We're an evening.

    Bellisimo is a pop-up — born of too many trips to Italy, a stubborn belief that pasta is a love language, and the suspicion that most modern dinners have forgotten how to take their time.

    One menu. One seating. A long table dressed in linen, lit by candles that won't stop flickering. You'll be served seven courses, paired with wine chosen the way it should be — by someone who actually drinks it.

    Come hungry. Come a little late. Stay later.

    Il menu della sera

    A prix fixe, the Italian way

    No substitutions, no apologies, no à la carte. Trust the chef — he's been doing this longer than you've been picky.

    I

    Aperitivo

    L'inizio

    Negroni sbagliato, Castelvetrano olives, warm focaccia torn by hand. You arrive. You exhale. The night begins.

    II

    Antipasto

    Il saluto

    Burrata from Puglia, late-summer tomatoes, Sicilian olive oil, a tear of basil. Three ingredients. Don't overthink it.

    III

    Insalata

    Verde

    Bitter chicories, shaved fennel, Castelmagno, a vinaigrette of saba and lemon. Sharp, like a good comeback.

    IV

    Pasta

    La pasta

    Tagliatelle, rolled this morning. Brown butter, guanciale, Parmigiano aged thirty months, a crack of black pepper. The course you'll remember.

    V

    Secondo

    Il piatto

    Bistecca alla Fiorentina, rosemary embers, salsa verde. Or branzino al sale, lemon, capers. Choose at the table.

    VI

    Dolce

    La dolcezza

    Tiramisù, made the way his nonna made it. No shortcuts. No deconstruction. Just the real thing, with espresso pulled at the bar.

    VII

    Digestivo

    La fine

    Amaro of the house, an espresso, a story or two. Stay as long as you'd like. The chef might sit down.

    $145 per guest

    + $65 wine pairing — recommended, obviously

    Book the table

    La pasta

    Rolled by hand.
    Every morning.

    Semolina from Gragnano. Eggs with yolks the color of marigolds. A wooden board older than most of the staff. We don’t sell dried pasta and we don’t apologize for the price of butter.

    La cantina

    Wine that means something.

    Five small producers. Five regions. No points scores, no scoring, no nonsense. Just bottles we’d open at home.

  2. ToscanaSangiovese, Chianti Classicocherry, leather, Sunday afternoon
  3. SiciliaNerello Mascalese, Etna Rossovolcanic, smoke, a little danger
  4. VenetoGarganega, Soave Classicoalmond, white flower, the patio in May
  5. FriuliRibolla Gialla, skin-contacthoneyed, briny, opinionated
  6. Prenotazioni

    Pull up a chair.

    Thirty-five seats per night. We release them in small batches because, frankly, we like keeping things personal.

    Confirmation within 24 hours. A 50% deposit holds your seat — because no-shows ruin nights for everyone.
