A Cena - Restaurant Review

Priding itself on seasonal, locally grown produce, A Cena offers a contemporary yet modern take on simple Italian cuisine. With two rustic dining rooms filled with dimly-lit, subtle décor and a menu that changes with the seasons, Executive Chef Gabe Gabreski brings the comforts of home to the fine dining experience. The extensive wine list features a tour of regional Italian wines in addition to several local selections to accompany their hand-made breads, pastas, and cheeses and fresh cured meats. Be sure to save room for dessert as the hand-crafted gelato is irresistible. From simple pizzas to delicate pan-seared meats, A Cena offers something for everyone, whether it is a romantic Italian dinner to a family meal.
