We focus on high quality, country-style Italian food that is approachable for the entire family. The menu is highlighted by fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors; the delicate, homemade pastas are a must try for any visit to The Kitchen Table.
Our open concept kitchen invites our neighbors, friends, and family to gather around our kitchen table to
