Dessert Course

Wine Pairings: Viva la vino Italiano! My two favorites are pinot grigio and chianti, though a pleasant chardonnay, honestly, will add some nice oak notes and dry up some of the sweetness from the fresh basil used across the board on this menu. Look to California for some great pairings, especially from Napa or the Russian River Valley.

Beer Pairings: We have a menu here that works extremely well with my absolute favorite style of beer - the IPA (India Pale Ale). Surly Furious is quite hoppy (the hoppier the better, in my humble opinion!), but will add a lot of floral notes and a crisp dryness that will do well through the main course (and set you up well to enjoy the dessert) if you‘re up to the challenge. If you have never had an IPA before, consider Summit Pale Ale a nice introduction to the style.
