The Heroic Ethos
Heroic Italian marries the exquisite flavors of Italy with a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere.
Depending on when you swing by you will be greeted by the sweet smell of basil, the earthiness of mushrooms or even the punch of garlic. The menu is a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions and the Italians that made the US their home. Offering a variety of antipasti, pasta, salads and of course sandwiches, our ingredients are carefully selected, with many sourced locally to ensure the freshest flavors.

The staff is friendly and approachable, creating an environment where you can truly savor your meal without feeling rushed. Guests are encouraged to linger over their food and wine, enjoy good conversation, and soak in the atmosphere.
