The chefs at Caffé Il Cipresso bridge the gap between Old and New World flavors by populating their menu with homemade Italian comfort fare made with fresh ingredients and culinary innovations. Fresh Italian cold cuts pile onto the antipasto Toscana’s garden of romaine lettuce, where sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and marinated mushrooms bloom alongside pepperoncinis, cheese, and decorative lawn gnomes ($11.99). Fresh-baked breads swan dive into fragrant lochs of the Cipresso sauce ($13.99), which unites alfredo sauce with pesto before drizzling it over linguine, spaghetti, fettuccine, or wheat penne. Sheathed in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, the italian baked haddock ($15.99) surfs onto salvers, throwing fierce shaka signs at shore-bound steak tips as they sizzle in a top-secret marinade.

Peepers feast on vibrant murals of the Italian countryside in the Caffé’s cozy dining room, which ensconces diners amid lace curtains and plush red booths. Alternatively, guests can nosh in a downstairs lounge, where bartenders serve white, red, and dessert wines by the bottle, glass, or tiny gondola.
