Inspired by the drama of Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 — the soaring melodies, the hammer blows, the hero’s fate — we’re cooking dishes that hit with the same bold intensity.

First up: classic Italian BRACIOLA, rolled tight with herbs and cheese, then simmered low and slow until it’s tender enough to make you forget your troubles. It’s rich, emotional, and just a little bit epic… very Mahler.

Then we balance the drama with something bright and heavenly: burrata & roasted tomato BRUSCHETTA. Creamy burrata (hello, cowbells!) meets blistered tomatoes, garlic, and basil on toasted bread. One bite and you get that perfect mix of light and dark — just like the symphony.

A night of big flavors, big feelings, and a nod to one of the most electrifying pieces of music ever written. Aprons on — let’s get cooking.
