Skip the Cooking, Not the Quality
Every dinner is made fresh to order from Tom's family recipes, cooked by hand the day you pick it up and never pulled from a case. Because we prepare exactly what is reserved, these are pre-order only – just lock in your order by 8 PM the night before. Walk in, grab your dinner, and add a bottle from the wine boutique and a cannoli or tiramisu to make the whole night effortless.
Breaded Swordfish with Garlic Butter, White Wine & Caper Sauce + Rice Pilaf
Friday dinner is solved.
This week's Dinner for Two starts with thick portions of swordfish coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and cooked until the outside is golden and crisp while the fish stays tender and meaty inside.
Then comes the sauce.
Garlic butter and white wine come together into a silky, savory sauce with briny capers scattered throughout. It's spooned generously over the swordfish, settling into the crisp breading and running onto the plate where the fluffy rice pilaf is waiting to soak up every last bit.
Golden crust. Tender swordfish. Buttery garlic. White wine. Salty capers. Warm rice pilaf coated in all that sauce.
It's rich without feeling heavy, bright from the wine and capers, and exactly the kind of dinner you want waiting for you at the end of the week.
Make it the complete dinner: We highly recommend adding our Caesar Salad. Crisp romaine is tossed with our famous Caesar dressing, shaved and grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses, and crunchy homemade garlic croutons. The cold, crisp Caesar is the perfect contrast to the warm, buttery swordfish.

Lasagna Sunday is Buon Cibo's ready-to-go Italian Sunday dinner for two: a quarter tray of meat lasagna made from the Tarantino family recipe, served with garlic bread, all for $35.
This is the kind of meal that makes Sunday feel like Sunday.
At Buon Cibo in Scripps Ranch, Lasagna Sunday carries forward everything people loved about Sugo Sunday: a family recipe, a comforting meal, and one less dinner to plan. Sugo Sunday was our summer tradition. Starting this August, the Sunday table belongs to lasagna.
Each quarter tray brings together generous layers of pasta, rich meat sauce, and melted cheese. On the side, you get garlic bread for every last bit of sauce you will not want to leave behind.
Bring it home, set the table, and let Sunday dinner take care of itself. No grocery list. No pile of pans. No last-minute question about what to make. Just a family-recipe meat lasagna, garlic bread, and dinner for two.
$35. Serves two.

Tiramisu is the dessert Italian grandmothers built specifically for the end of a long, good meal.
Espresso-soaked ladyfingers are layered with cloud-light mascarpone cream and finished with a dusting of bittersweet cocoa on top. Sweet, but not too sweet. Rich, but not heavy. Coffee, cocoa, and cream doing exactly what they were meant to do together.
One generous slice, enough for two, packed cold and ready to enjoy after dinner.
Add it to your Friday Night Dinner for Two, or grab one any time you stop in.
The cannolo is Sicily’s most famous sweet, and the one Tom Tarantino grew up watching the women in his family make on Sunday afternoons in their Sicilian kitchen. A crisp fried shell, a fresh ricotta cream filling that walks the line between rich and bright, and a generous dusting of powdered sugar — like Sicilian snow — to finish it off just right. Just enough sweetness to feel like a real treat without overwhelming the espresso you should drink with it.
Two cannolis. One for each of you. Or both for whoever called it first.
