A little bit of Bar Rosso…Opening May 12

From the owners of BAR ROSSO:

We are so excited to showcase the efforts of the team that brought Napa & co, and before that, Telluride. Bar Rosso occupies the quaint Spring Street just a block away. This site has been totally transformed, sporting a dramatic two story high central dining area surrounded overhead on two sides by a dining mezzanine overlooking the main dining room and on a third by a private dining room softened behind shaded glass. A dramatic bar of stainless steel set against a backdrop of exposed stone runs the length of the room and leads the eye to the real focus of the place: the imposing steel surround of the wood burning beehive oven. Rustic wood ceilings and exposed stone walls set against high energy steel and glass combine the old and new at Bar Rosso, setting the tone, reflecting the soul of the restaurant. Featuring glorious Italian cheeses and charcuterie, small plate specialities, housemade mozzarella, burrata and provolone, mix and match bites off a large antipasto menu, wood oven thin crust pizza, homemade pasta and Italian inspired entrees. Bar Rosso is intended as a tour of the Italian culinary scene complemented by a full Italian wine list and cocktails inspired by the authentic ingredients of Italy, such as homemade coffee-vanilla bitters, grapefruit bitters, lemon-cello, orange-cello and amaretto. And with good weather....all of this can be enjoyed on the sunny patio out front!

Even by yourself you won't be alone at Bar Rosso. This is a social place, a casual spot where you can escape, a place to enjoy some vino, meet some new friends and enjoy the interpretation of Italian cuisine by the inventive and always exciting, Chef Dan Kardos.

Opening Thursday May 12th. Reservations available by calling 203-388-8640 or through http://www.blogger.com/www.opentable.com

From the creators of napa & co, Bar Rosso features a wood burning pizza oven set behind a 50 ft. bar serving an Italian tapas style menu with small plates, housemade pasta, housemade mozzarella and an impressive selection of prime meats complemented by Italian influenced side dishes and sauces. The impressive 250-label wine list focuses on the wines of Italy with a small homage to the California classics. Think homemade limonecella, sweet vermouth, grappa and a selection of unique bitters. Enjoy our quaint Spring Street outdoor patio or private dining facilities.
