The Gran Caffe Opens

The owners of Rustico have opened the Gran Caffe next door to their well-known restaurant on Central Avenue. The Caffe will serve the community breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Scarsdale10583.com stopped by to meet owners Anna and Nello who opened the Caffe three weeks ago and already appear to have a bustling business and happy clientele. The Caffe is a casual spot that has something for everyone.  Open at 7 am, they serve an assortment of gourmet coffees and teas to accompany your bagel, muffin,  scone or omelet. For lunch there’s a long list of sandwiches, wraps and Panino including the Caprese with fresh mozzarella, tomato, roasted peppers, parma prosciutto, basil and olive oil or the Modena which is mortadella, capicolla, soppresata, prosciutto, provolone, lettuce, tomato and oil and vinegar. The thin crust pizzas, soups, salads and selection of hot meals all looked fresh and delicious.

Pastries, sold by the piece, are supplied by the former pastry chef of the Gramercy Tavern and Sushi Samba, and for dessert there is also gelato and italian cookies.

The restaurant has ample seating and would be a nice venue to meet a friend for lunch or coffee, or to sit alone, sip your coffee and read the paper.  At night they are open late to accommodate those who want to stop by for a glass of wine or dessert.

In addition, the shop is offering catering: supplying many of the dishes well known at Rustico, such as Lasagna Bolognese, Pasta Amatriciana, Fra Diavlo, Puttanesca, or Veal Marsala, Francese or Piccata; all in trays for up to 20 peopl.. Think about calling the Gran Caffe to cater your holiday get togethers.
