We serve a unique menu of Calabrian and Sicilian peasant style Italian food with a captivating wine list.
Peasant Osteria is open seven days for à la carte dinner, with a special degustation experience available Friday and Saturday evenings for a limited number of guests. A seasonal menu explores Calabrian and Sicilian peasant-style cooking in bold, thoughtful and original ways, with no two menus the same. The menu is revised regularly and includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, offering a unique and ever-evolving dining experience.
An idiosyncratic, lyrical dining experience.
Welcome to an old-world kitchen in which the quality of the produce and the time taken to prepare each dish is everything. Nothing is hurried and everything is fresh, this is anti-fast food.
Peasant, the privilege of authenticity.
Peasant is an appreciation of the culinary aesthetic that is the very foundation of the sophisticated and elaborate styles of cooking that evolved from it and predominate today.
We craft in a simplicity born of necessity. Celebrating our essential relationship with the earth. Yielding ephemeral seasonal sustenance as the cycles of nature permit.
In the great chain of being the ‘lower’ echelons are closer to the heart of nature. From this primordial knowledge, without embellishment and artifice, the quality of food prepared in an elemental way blazes through.
As we descend to the horizon we find that the real fills our senses more than the abstract and that the world makes us whole through the fecundity of the soil.
Peasant is strength and vitality, the power of clarity, purity, and directness bringing a tradition of honest enjoyment back to the domain of fine dining.
Peasant cuisine is at the basis of the culinary art. By this I mean it is composed of honest elements that la grande cuisine only embellishes.
