Insider Dining Tips

Antipasti are your opening act. Order a few to share and set the stage for the meal.
Pasta portions can be generous. Consider splitting a *primi piatti* (first course) if you're planning for *secondi* (main course).
Family-style is the way to go! Sharing dishes encourages conversation and lets you sample more of Topo Gigio's menu.
Don't be shy about asking for recommendations. The staff knows the menu inside and out and can guide you.
Pace yourself. Italian dining is a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy each course and savour the experience.
End on a sweet note. Topo Gigio's dolci (desserts) are the perfect finale to a satisfying meal.
