A Little Italy institution- no frills. The Prescott has been around forever and is famous for their meatball sandwiches that are floating in meat sauce and smothered in cheese. Their wings are also huge and delish. They have a decent patio in the summer and cheap beer and drinks!

Shopping

The best House made charcuterie - sausages and other cured/smoked meats, hand selected assortment of small pieces of cheese. A wide array of locally prepared jams, preserves, syrups and Cordials. If we're going to a dinner party we will often bring a tray of charcuterie from here – a real crowdpleaser!
