You’re not just getting dinner—you’re getting an authentic taste of Italy’s Abruzzo region right here in Hudson, MA. Each dish tells a story, crafted by our chefs who understand that real Italian cuisine goes far beyond basic pasta and pizza.
The moment you step inside, you’ll notice the difference.

Our name comes from the rare truffle mushroom found only in Abruzzo, Italy—and we use it in many of our signature dishes. This attention to authentic ingredients and traditional techniques means you’re getting the real thing, not some watered-down version of Italian food.
