The bustling bistro features the most comprehensive selection of Northern Italian cuisine this side of Tuscany.

“The one area where we are totally committed and where we never compromise is using really great ingredients that are as fresh as possible,” says owner Gale Kohl. “We buy some of our produce from the farmers’ market and try to pick up organic produce whenever it’s appropriate. We also are always looking for purveyors that carry great quality and unusual product.”

The inspiration for many of Gale’s house specialties comes from produce that is in-season, and only the freshest products are used in the preparation of meat and seafood dishes as well. Some of Gale’s specials include lamb chops from New Zealand – made unique because they are fresh, not frozen - monk fish with saffron mussel risotto, - and a wide variety of salmon prepared in different and delicious ways. All are guaranteed to please even the most sophisticated palate.
