There are the classics: the Tino Basilic instinct with mushrooms, fresh basil and mozzarella fior di latte with a tomato base, the pork please with bacon, scamorza, mushrooms and mozzarella fior di latte, the** Bie Strong** with brie cheese, caramelized red onion and mozzarella fior di latte and the Cabracadabra with goat cheese, mushrooms, toasted pistachios, honey and mozzarella fior di latte.
