Crispy. Spicy. Slightly dangerous. 🔥
Have you tried our Spaghetti all’Assassina? 🍝
Born in Bari, Italy, this spicy, charred pasta dish became known as “assassin’s pasta” for its unforgettable heat. Rarely found outside Italy, it’s a bold addition to our menu you won’t forget. 🇮🇹
Looking for something truly special? This is it!
