Mediterranean Kitchen & Café · Est. 1998
Our table
Restaurant Deluxe began as a corner café with one wood oven and a long shared table. Twenty-five seasons later the oven still burns olive wood, the table is still long, and very little has changed about why we do it.
We cook close to the source — produce from growers we know, fish landed that morning, bread proofed overnight and pulled from the embers at dusk. Come for the plates; stay for the second carafe.
From the pass
A handful of dishes our regulars would riot over if we ever took them off.
Wood-grilled, smoked paprika, white bean & preserved lemon.
Hand-rolled pici, four-hour short rib, aged pecorino.
Whatever swam best this morning, charred greens, brown butter.
A glimpse
“Good cooking is mostly restraint. We let one perfect ingredient be the loudest voice on the plate — then we get out of its way.”Élise Marchetti Chef & Founder
