It’s back.

For three years, one question has come up more than any other: “When are you bringing back the Hobo Stew?” Guests asked at the table, in emails, even when we ran into them around town. Out of everything that has rotated off our menus, this dish has been the single most requested.

We understand why. Hobo Stew isn’t just hearty and comforting — it’s part of our story. Braised beef short rib, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and gnocchi come together in a rustic stew that’s peppery, filling, and perfect as the evenings turn cooler. The recipe has roots in the cooking of Italian workers near Hoboken who made simple, soulful meals with whatever they had on hand.

Hobo Stew is back on the menu at Vesuvio and Little Napoli starting tonight. Come hungry.

Introducing…Doc’s Vodka—California’s smoothest secret weapon. 🧪✨
Hand-crafted at Christian Pepe’s Doc Pepe’s Lab in Marina, CA, each batch begins with 100% corn grain, so it’s naturally gluten-free (think Tito’s, but without that “why-does-this-linger?” aftertaste).

How’d we make it this clean? Vapor-management distillation. 📈💨 In plain English: the vapors rise through a precision-controlled reflux column, separating impurities at different boiling points and leaving only crystal-clear spirit in the collector. Science never tasted so good.

With only a few hundred bottles in existence, this just might be the rarest vodka on earth—and you’ll only find it behind the bar at Little Napoli and Vesuvio. Ask for Doc’s by name in your go-to cocktail, or let it shine solo in an ice-cold martini glass.

Salute to small-batch excellence! 🥂
