Canneti Roadhouse Italiana

“Canneti is the name of a road I used to walk to go from my parents’ house to elementary school. I had a dream for a very long time, and when I moved to California years ago, I named that dream Canneti. Here it is alive with its custom made rustic tables and stools, refinished wood counters and a Tuscan Country flair. My cucina is a mix of many experiences, from a Relais & Chateaux two Michelin starred restaurant to a simple Tuscan Trattoria, a Louisiana Church BBQ to Long Island country style. As Canneti came to life, I made the decision to offer just what I experienced myself in the first place. So you will find just Tuscan and local wines in the wine list, and you will hear a true story behind every dish and decor decision”.
