A new restaurant is on the verge of opening. It occupies a completely renovated space on Main Street near Artspace and the constantly expanding medical corridor.
Open for lunch and dinner, this sizable restaurant will serve casual Italian-American fare. You'll find Buffalo favorites like artichoke dip, stuffed peppers and calamari. Bowls of pasta, big salads, sandwiches and wraps can also be found on the menu. Thin crust pizzas will be highlighted, available with an assortment of classic toppings as well as some that are more atypical in our pepperoni-loving town. A good white pizza heads the list, followed by pies sporting additions like portobello mushrooms and sundried tomatoes. In the evening, diners will have salads, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas to choose from, but also heftier entrees featuring selections like steak, rack of lamb and salmon.
My recent talk with the owner uncovered his search for a moniker for his venture. Something simple and interesting that stands out from the traditional names attached to Italian-American restaurants. Any thoughts? Add your suggestion in the comments below by Wednesday, August 15th. The reader with the best name will receive a $100 gift certificate to the new establishment!
