SIGNATURE TASTING MENU

signature tasting menu does giglio 

Join us for Travail's signature chef's tasting experience featuring our Italian-inspired menu we call, GIGLIO.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors and aromas of Italy as our chef team presents a 22 course tasting experience. From timeless Italian classics to innovative dishes crafted by our pasta-loving chef-owners, each course is a celebration of culinary artistry and passion. In true Travail style, we’ll kick off the evening with small plates and bites plus cacio e pepe in a massive Parmigiano Reggiano wheel followed by cocktails, wines and a full a la carte bar.

*Unfortunately we can't accommodate celiac dietary restrictions, but we can accommodate gluten-free and mild dairy allergies by omitting extra cheese garnishes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
