Owner and Executive Chef, Ali Celik, opened 288 Lark Wine & Tap in 2019. He then opened Villa Di Como Ristorante & Farm Distillery at next door 286 Lark St in 2020. Chef Ali purchased 286 & 288 Lark Street in 2016, after both properties sat vacant over five years by taking extensive measures to historically preserve and renovate the properties. The planning and construction phase took over 3 years. Chef Ali is from Lake Como, Italy cooks unique authentic Italian food, makes super premium Limoncello & Orangecello Liquor, gourmet jarred Italian sauces for you to take home. Our restaurants feature a big wine list to be enjoyed with Chef Ali's delicious al dente pasta in the ambiance of an Italian villa.

Chef Ali imports his ingredients directly from Italy. In addition to our authentic Italian food and gourmet personal size pizzas and Limoncello and Orangecello in 750ml bottles, we have 3 Gourmet Sauces to offer such as Hot Italian Oil, Marinara and Hot Italian Tomato Sauce in glass jars for you to enjoy at home.
