Wood-Fired Italian Kitchen & Bar
Handmade pasta, wood-fired meats, and wines chosen with intention — all gathered around a flame in the heart of the city.
Our Story
Ember & Vine was born from a simple belief: the best meals happen when great ingredients meet honest fire. Chef Marco Bellini brings recipes passed down through three generations of his family in Tuscany, reimagined with the precision of modern technique.
Every morning, our kitchen team hand-rolls pasta from flour milled in-house. Our wood-fired oven, built by artisans from Naples, reaches temperatures that crisp the perfect crust while keeping the center tender and alive.
We source from local farms within a 50-mile radius, and our wine list — curated by sommelier Elena Rossi — features small producers from Italy's most compelling vineyards.
The Menu
Our menu changes with the seasons, but these are the dishes our guests return for again and again.
House-rolled pappardelle, slow-braised wild boar ragù, pecorino stagionato, toasted pine nuts
Dry-aged 40oz ribeye, wood-fired, finished with rosemary-infused olive oil, charred lemon, sea salt
00 flour crust, buffalo mozzarella, black truffle cream, wild mushrooms, thyme, aged balsamic
Whole roasted branzino, Ligurian olives, cherry tomatoes, capers, preserved lemon, herb gremolata
Espresso-soaked savoiardi, mascarpone cream, Valrhona cocoa, aged Amaretto, 24-hour rest
Rotating selection of natural and biodynamic wines from Tuscany, Piedmont, Sicily, and beyond
The Experience
Watch our chefs work the wood-fired oven and grill from every seat in the room. The theater of cooking is part of the meal.
Warm candlelight, reclaimed wood tables, and just 45 seats. Every table feels like the best one in the house.
Our 7-course tasting menu ($120 per person) changes monthly, paired with wines hand-selected by our sommelier.
"The most magical dinner we've had in the city. The pappardelle alone is worth the trip, but the whole experience — the warmth, the wine, the fire — it's unforgettable."
