"Chef Michele Belotti, born and raised in a small town northeast of Milan, brings his love for simple, heartfelt cuisine of his homeland to Rockridge’s vast Italian scene. Honoring traditional methods and using local ingredients to craft an approachable menu where his homemade, soul-warming pasta is the star, standouts include the casoncelli, his mom’s Lombardian-style stuffed pasta with beef, prosciutto, pork shoulder covered in sage brown butter sauce. Belotti also churns out a small selection of impressive entrees, such as the 13-hour slow-cooked suckling pig. You can also now take out fresh pasta from the botega in Piedmont." - Clara Hogan, Eater Staff
