What People Are Saying About Cafe Borgia

The Scene
Cafe Borgia is surprisingly small, but the intimacy is conducive to conversation and full enjoyment of beautifully prepared Italian treats. Fastidious attention is paid to details, from the immaculately attired and attentive staff to the little loaves of thinly sliced bread served with whipped butter.

The Food
The menu first lists "with bread" dainties such as fontina cheese and olive oil or sun-dried tomato pesto. More substantial appetizers follow and include several seafood delights (mussels marinara, grilled shrimp and pan-fried scallops), carpaccio (charred raw beef tenderloin served with lemon caper vinaigrette) and grilled eggplant. Pasta choices include mostaccioli casserole and an intriguing fettuccine salmon (fresh salmon and scallions in lemon dill cream). Entrees include stuffed eggplant, chicken Vesuvio, beef braciola, stuffed chicken breast, roast lamb shank or grilled pork chops.
