We invite you to indulge in one of our classic dishes or taste the element of surprise in one from our daily menu. Have a glass of wine and a bite to eat at the bar and you may be propelled into a Parisian bistro. You will hear the subtle stir of the city, taste the fresh ingredients, and feel the warmth of our Pesce staff.
