Meyer lemon chitarra with caviar is a fun, if rich, pairing, especially with the addition of Italian bubbles (Berlucchu '61 Extra Brut🤌). The witch theme even extends to pasta shapes with an excellent pesto coating homemade torchietti. Can't go wrong ending with a cannoli trio.

The kitchen at bewitching new Italian restaurant Ellizabetta is casting spells on vegetables - mushroom milanese and vegan tagliatelle with ragu had me fooled. Lots of delicious food here (and plenty of actual meat) with Italian wine deep cuts by owner/sommelier Elli Benchimol.
