As the leaves begin to turn in North Carolina, it’s the perfect time to elevate your drink game with flavorful fall cocktails! Whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a cozy date night, our bar is stocked with fresh, Italian-inspired sips that capture the essence of the season. Let’s dive into the delicious flavors of fall!
Cocktails That Capture the Season



Cinema Paradiso
This cocktail is our take on a Negroni, combining citrus-infused Ford’s gin with the iconic bitterness of campari and the rich, smooth flavor of Raina “numero uno” vermouth. Every sip delivers a burst of authentic Italian flavor.
After Midnight
When you need a little kick to keep the night going, After Midnight has you covered. Our version of an espresso martini blends Tito’s vodka beautifully with espresso, a hint of Tonka, and spiced Mexican liqueur. It’s the perfect pairing for our milder fall nights.
Ford Vs. Ferrari
For those who crave a bold, smoky cocktail, Ford vs. Ferrari delivers a thrilling ride of flavors. Rittenhouse bonded rye provides a strong, smooth base, while Del Maguey Vida mezcal adds a touch of smokiness. Amaro Montenegro and a dash of angostura bitters round out this drink with just the right amount of bitterness and complexity.
Wine, Beer, and Digestivo Delights

If you’re in the mood for something a bit more traditional, our wine selection is unparalleled. From deep reds to crisp whites, we offer a curated list of Italian wines that will pair perfectly with any dish. We also have a selection of local and imported beers to quench your thirst.
Cap off your evening with one of our classic digestivo options. Whether you prefer the citrusy punch of our house-made Limoncello or the smooth, orange-flavored warmth of Grand Marnier, these are the perfect finales to a hearty Italian meal.
