Over the years I have traveled extensively throughout Italy in search of new ideas, recipes, and great wines to bring back to Three Tomatoes. The source of inspiration continues to be the simple, fresh, healthy and local foods of Trattoria style cooking. Eating in a Trattoria in Italy is like eating with an Italian family. The mood can be relaxed or boisterous, but always friendly. It is a home away from home and a gathering place for friends. I have tried to capture the warmth of the trattoria kitchen with its open fire, the aroma of simmering sauces, roasted meats, grilled fish and pizza baking in our custom built wood fired oven. Our newly revised wine list has been enhanced by selections of distinction and value inspired by attending Vinitaly, Slow Food's Terra Madre and visiting vineyards throughout Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. Three Tomatoes has captured some of the spirit that makes wine, food, and conviviality such an important part of trattoria life.

Krasi exceeded my expectations with its bold Greek flavors and incredible wine selection. The crispy chicken skin was a highlight, pairing perfectly with the htapiti. The charcuterie board was outstanding, and both the apaki and patates were flawlessly prepared. The wine menu is exceptional, offering an impressive variety of Greek and orange wines, making for a truly elevated dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone looking to explore Greek cuisine and wine at its finest. I’ll definitely be returning!
