Our story begins in the Dolomites, where the village of Andalo gave our restaurant its name. During travels through northern Italy, our owners, Jamie Brown and Jeff Tonidandel, traced the rare Tonidandel family name back to this small mountain town in the Trentino–Alto Adige region. While Andalo lies in Trentino, its traditions, cuisine, and landscape are deeply tied to its northern neighbor, Alto Adige. This dinner is a way to honor those connections—bringing together alpine flavors and the crisp, aromatic wines that define the region.
⏰ Seating begins at 6:15pm | Dinner starts promptly at 6:30pm
