Food Scene

Incredible small plates and a great atmosphere. Probably my favorite place to eat in town. Keep in mind that they only do reservations for groups of 6 or more. For smaller groups, just drop by after 5pm. If it’s busy, they'll grab your number and call (or text) when your table is ready.

This may be a little pricey but the sushi is amazing. Be sure to try the salmon tartar or sashimi three ways. They do great fresh fruit martini as well.

Piatto is the only VPN certified pizzeria around. That means that you're going to get incredible authentic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza! Pop in for lunch (they have a good lunch special) or enjoy dinner with a bottle of Prosecco! I'd suggest trying "The Stefanie" pizza.
