St. Petersburg Live Entertainment
We are thrilled and honored to be able to provide live entertainment for our guests in a safe and welcoming environment and, most importantly, to be able to support local musicians. As opportunities for touring continue to lessen, it is through community support that will help make the arts endure and thrive.
So, join us for from-scratch Italian created and inspired from 100 year-old family recipes while enjoying live entertainment in our outdoor patio or indoors near our handcrafted brick oven imported from Italy.
Be sure to follow us on Facebook to get live entertainment updates!
