Mother’s Day is this Sunday 🤍

Skip the flowers.
Take her to instead.

Fresh pasta, extra parmesan, a table full of appetizers, and a few glasses of wine with the people she loves most… that’s the kind of gift she’ll actually remember!

Reserve your table before we fill up 🍝✨

PART 5… or 6 or 7| Love on the House

Tonight’s plot twist? A birthday girl makes the rules.
Jordan chose Marco for a celebratory shot… and a little main character moment.

Is this the start of forever?
Or just a birthday memory with great lighting and even better cocktails?

Only time will tell 😉
