Description
You could easily make a meal of wine and cheese here, but you may have a hard time resisting going further. Especially in summer, when the sidewalk patio invites lingering over chef John Caputo's global small plates.Recent dishes include the Latin flavors of black bean, roasted red pepper and corn salsa served over arctic char; a pizza topped with spinach, goat cheese and Spanish chorizo; and a Mediterranean-inspired salad of chickpeas, artichokes and mozzarella in a lemon vinaigrette. No matter the season, gelato is always our preferred ending.
