To the right of the door as you enter the restaurant there is an antique stairway that leads you down to the "cantina" of the old palazzo. Arched ceilings, large blocks of building stone dating from Roman times protrude from the walls, a fun design all help create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Perfect for an intimate glass of wine and conversation or an ideal solution for private party space for up to 30. people.

Along with our extensive wine list you may also order light plates from the cantina menu such as goose salamis, our delicious cheeseplates made exclusively with our very own goats cheese from Tuscany, Giulianos "not to be missed" deserts, or sample some of our 30 hot teas.

Our wine list offers an ample choice from hundreds of Italian vineyards. We have wines from all regions of Italy from Peimonte in the north down to Puglia in the south and the great islands of Sicily and Sardegna.

One of the great joys of having the restaurant is being able to discover and support smaller niche producers with whom we can have a personal relationship with. Wine makers such as our tuscan neighbors Vineyard Vitereta or Vini Luretta from Piacentino but also more famous producers like Tenuta San Guido, Vinicola Benanti in Sicily, Jermann Vinnaioli to the north in Friuli and as well as many others. While sampling and choosing wines for the restaurant we always keep in mind how a particular bottle will partner perfectly with Chef Giuliano's kitchen.
