Hello everyone. We've decided tonight will be our last night of regular service for the time being. We have put together a menu for curbside pick up, and we are still offering a free budino with any gift certificate or to-go order over $30. We will only take credit cards over the phone, to minimize contact at pick up. Starting tomorrow from 12 pm - 5 pm you can call 608-255-8376 for take-out of these menu items:
Please see our lunch or dinner specials for an updated menu.
We would also be happy to sell a bottle of either white or red wine for $20 for you to enjoy with your meal.
