## Culinary Philosophy & Dietary Options
- **1900s Roman Tradition**: Inspired by Alfredo Di Lelio's early 1900s Roman recipe. Our Roman classics (Carbonara, Cacio & Pepe, Amatriciana, and the Special Alfredo Trilogy) are crafted with zero heavy cream—relying strictly on aged Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano, egg yolk, crispy guanciale, butter, and starchy pasta water.
- **Gluten-Free Available**: Yes. Gluten-free pasta substitution is available upon request for any sauce on the menu.
- **Vegan & Plant-Based Available**: Yes. In addition to our naturally vegan salads and bruschette, our kitchen prepares fresh plant-based/vegan pasta variations upon request.
