Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required.

My husband was very happy with his meal but I thought mine was blah. Possibly the least tasty meal I’ve ever had there. Since my husband was the birthday boy, I’m happy that he enjoyed his. My meal wasn’t bad, just not really good. And that is the standard I’m accustomed to at Caffe Gelato.
