Friday Feels.
It may be cloudy & cold outside, but we’re dreaming of blue skies, ocean views, long lunches and cocktails by the beach.
Here’s to the weekend ahead!
Buon venerdì.

The same fold. The same filling. For centuries.
Culurgiones come from Ogliastra, eastern Sardinia where for generations, village women passed down their own secret pleat. That distinctive wheat-ear fold? It was said to protect the harvest and bring good luck.
We make ours by hand, the same way it’s always been done. Potato, Juncu cheese & zucchini - but like all the best things, it changes with the season.
Come try a little piece of Sardinian history before it does.

If the weather’s going to be miserable, at least the drinks don’t have to be.
Book a table by the beach and start with a Costa Smeralda. A scoop of granita finished tableside with Sardinian fennel liqueur Fenu, vodka and a touch of Sambuca poured over the top.
Cold, fresh and worth leaving the house for.

Electric blue ocean, white linen, ripe figs, cold cocktails, long lunches and plates arriving at the table worth lingering over.
Un pranzo come si deve.
