Menuof the Osteria
Antipasti, pasta, pizze from the oven, dolci and cocktails. Everything is made here in Chevreuse, with seasonal produce and Italian houses we call by name.

- Emilia-RomagnaThe cured meats, with those from Abruzzo and Naples
- TuscanyThe Chianti from the Leonardo da Vinci winery
- SicilyFirriato's Nero d'Avola, harvested at altitude

In the kitchen, Céleste — la mamma — has watched over the family recipes for more than twenty-five years.
Sauces are made to order, the pizze come out of the oven to the minute, the desserts are made in house. If a dish is not right, it does not leave the kitchen.
