Our brick oven isn’t just the centerpiece of our kitchen – it’s where the magic happens. As Boston sheds its winter coat, we’ve experimented with combinations that feel right for those first few warm evenings. There’s something special about watching people stroll down Hanover Street again, windows open, everyone ready for something fresh after months of heartier fare. We’ve always believed good food is about timing and context – the perfect bite on the ideal day. These pairings come from our team’s favorite discoveries, things we reach for ourselves when the workday ends and we finally sit down—nothing fancy or overthought – just honest combinations that taste better when spring sunshine hits the North End. Please view our full menu.
Margherita Mozzarella di Bufala with Pinot Grigio
I can’t count how many regulars come in every April asking if we’ve started serving at the open windows yet – it’s become a Boston ritual. Our Buffalo mozzarella Margherita tastes different when paired with that first properly chilled glass of Pinot Grigio on a mild evening. The cheese melts against our tomato sauce, while the basil adds that unmistakable smell of warmer days ahead. This wine doesn’t try too hard – it steps back and lets the pizza’s simplicity shine, adding just enough brightness to make each bite feel special. I recommend it whenever someone asks what “tastes like spring.” The subtle fruit notes in the wine seem made for those first evenings when you can finally leave your jacket at home.

Potato & Herb Pizza with Vermentino
Everyone has a comfort food – ours happens to be this simple white pizza topped with thin potato slices, herbs, and good olive oil. It sounds basic until you try it with a glass of Vermentino. Something happens when these humble ingredients meet this coastal Italian wine – the herbs wake up, the potatoes take on a buttery quality, and suddenly, a simple meal feels like a proper welcome to the season. Our regulars know to ask for this off-menu pairing once the weather turns. The green, alive wine mirrors what’s happening outside as Boston begins to bloom again. Nothing heavy – just clean flavors that leave you satisfied but ready for whatever the evening holds next. Learn about our cooking methods.
Prosciutto and Arugula with Rosé
This pairing feels right on those first truly warm afternoons when the sidewalks fill up again. The prosciutto’s richness plays against the peppery arugula on our crust, while a glass of dry rosé ties everything together. We source this wine from a small Italian producer who thinks like we do – that food should match the moment. The pale pink color alone seems to announce that winter is behind us, but the subtle berry notes make each bite of salty prosciutto taste new again. We serve this when friends visit the restaurant, especially if they’ve spent the day walking the Freedom Trail and want something restorative but not heavy. It’s a pairing that reminds you why restaurant patios were invented. Visit our Instagram for food photos.
Figs, Arugula & Goat Cheese with Prosecco
My grandmother would roll her eyes at calling this a pizza, but even she couldn’t resist the combination of sweet figs, sharp goat cheese, and peppery greens on our crust. Pair it with a glass of Prosecco that’s properly dry (none of that overly sweet stuff), and something special happens. The bubbles refresh between bites, the apple notes in the wine play against the sweetness of the figs, and suddenly, lunch stretches into mid-afternoon without anyone checking their watch. It’s what we make ourselves when the kitchen closes – simple but perfect. The slight tartness in goat cheese and wine creates a pleasant tension that keeps you coming back for another bite, another sip. This is what spring tastes like in our corner of Boston.

These pairings weren’t created in a boardroom – they evolved naturally as we noticed what people reach for when the season changes. They’re honest combinations that taste better when enjoyed in good company as Boston wakes up from winter. Stop by and try them yourself – no special occasion is needed beyond celebrating the pleasures of warmer days ahead.
