The Batali family has a deep history and tradition around

food. In 1903, Angelo Sebastian Merlino, my great-

grandfather, moved from Yakima and opened the first Italian

grocery story in Seattle near Pioneer Square. His daughter,

Leonette (Grandma) Batali was my true inspiration for

cooking. She would prepare incredible multi-course meals for

my cousins that included ravioli, gnocchi, Salumi, tomato

sauce, oxtails and Tiramisu. Grandma taught me, “food is

love”! In 1992, Uncle Armandino opened Salumi in Pioneer

Square and began serving artisan crafted, cured pork

products. My father Dino was also an amazing cook whose

specialties were sausage, pizzelle’s and Lemoncello. And in

1994, my cousin Mario Batali opened a small restaurant in

New York City called Pó and created a business for himself in

the food industry. We hope you can join us!

Sample Menu (with paired wines/ liquors): Antipasto Freddo

(marinated vegetables, cheese, Salumi), Antipasto Caldo

(artichokes and bruschetta), Ensalata (radicchio balsamic

greens), Secondi (pasta with Italian cream sauce), Primo (Coq

Au Vin with risotto) and Dolce (Italian cookie with gelato)
