$100 Gift card to Calabrese

Calabrese isn’t your average “Italian-themed” restaurant. From the décor to the menu, everything is layered with intention and meaning. The gold Vespa that anchors the dining room was upcycled and refinished with a reclaimed cork seat. The Lambretta is a 1957, the year our owner, Oscar Renda and his family immigrated from Calabria. Tucked five miles away is our 202-acre garden where we grow tomatoes, peppers, herbs, walnuts, pecans, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and 11 kinds of grapes. But don’t call us farm-to-table. Trendy isn’t the Calabrian way. We simply believe in freshness and flavors you can’t quite put your finger on. Again, it’s all about the Calabrian mystery.
