Bucatini Carbonara
House-made bucatini, tossed in rendered guanciale and emulsified with Parmigiano Reggiano to form a rich, savory sauce. Garnished with preserved lemon, finely cut chives, crispy prosciutto, and shaved pecorino, a raw egg yolk is nestled atop and finished with freshly ground black pepper. Served warm, guests are encouraged to mix the yolk into the pasta tableside.

Wagyu Beef Tartare
The Greggory’s decadent Wagyu beef tartare is elevated with rich bone marrow and a smoked egg yolk. Served with grilled sourdough, each bite is balanced by the brightness of capers and pickled carrots. It’s bold, indulgent and a beautiful start to a meal.
