Moving on to the highlights, the Focaccia offerings are simply irresistible. The Truffée (€13.00) is a showstopper—with its luscious layers of truffle cream, ham, and burrata drizzled with a touch of truffle oil, it pairs beautifully with the fresh salad served on the side. Vegetarians will delight in the Quatre fromages, a cheesy delight embodying the rich flavors of mozzarella, chèvre, gorgonzola DOP, and parmesan (€10.00). Each focaccia is a canvas of flavor, artfully crafted to complement your dining experience.

If you’re sharing with friends or wish to nibble while sipping on a fine wine, the Tapas selection beckons with a playful variety. Try the Beignets de calamar (€4.00) for a crisp, golden treat that pairs perfectly with the garlicky aioli, or indulge in Jalapeños (€7.00) stuffed with cheese, delivering a spicy kick that will excite your taste buds.
