Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Stefano's Italian of runs a beverage program with a clear split personality: a serious bottle list on one side and a long, themed cocktail roster on the other. The wine selection moves from by-the-glass standards into producer- and vintage-specific reds, whites, and sparkling options, while the cocktail menu spans multiple named sections with recipes that call out specific spirits and modifiers. Beer covers draft and packaged ground, and non-alcoholic drinkers get more than a token zero-proof option.
- What should I order?
- Start with a bottle from the red list, such as Vietti Barbera D'Asti or Ruffino Modus Toscana, or go by the glass with Chianti or Super Tuscan. For a cocktail, The Banker combines Rittenhouse Rye, Averna, Bordeaux Cherry Syrup, and Chocolate Bitters.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a full bottle list with producer details alongside a cocktail menu organized into distinct sections. Beer drinkers looking for a mix of imports, domestics, and craft options will also find solid ground. Non-alcoholic drinkers have a zero-proof cocktail and non-alcoholic beers to work with.
- When should I go?
- Suitable for a meal where the beverage order matters as much as the food, or for a drink-focused stop when the cocktail list is the draw.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Bottled non-alcoholic beverages are priced at $3.10, and fountain beverages at $3.39. Wine and cocktail pricing is not detailed in the available menu facts.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The cocktail menu is organized into named sections like 'The Usual Suspects,' 'The Little Black Book,' 'The Storytellers,' and 'Spritzes,' with recipes that specify spirits such as Citadelle Gin, Maker's Mark, Rittenhouse Rye, and Beefeater Gin. The wine list pairs by-the-glass standards with a producer- and vintage-detailed bottle selection.
