At Ama, food can be medicine, and gathering in community is part of the healing.
January at Ama is an invitation to return to balance, to quiet inflammation, support digestion, and nourish deeply without letting go of pleasure. While our cooking is always rooted in nutrient-dense ingredients and thoughtful sourcing, the new year offers a natural pause, a moment when many of us listen more closely to what our bodies are asking for.
Northern Italian cuisine has long been a language of restoration, shaped by seasonality and an intuitive understanding of how food sustains us through winter. Clean ingredients, gentle preparations, and time-honored techniques come together to warm, steady, and replenish. This menu honors that lineage, offering dishes designed to restore the body while feeding the soul.
The menu is guided by Dr. William Li, New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet. Dr. Li is a physician, scientist and pioneering leader of the food as medicine movement who believes it is possible to love great food and health simultaneously. Alongside Chef Johanna Hellrigl’s certification in Integrative Nutrition and Micah Wilder’s training in herbalism and functional beverage design, guests are invited to experience the menu not as a prescription, but as a conversation rooted in balance, intention, and the belief that pleasure and wellbeing belong at the same table.
