Tom Polizzi’s new restaurant venture takes you through a whirlwind tour of Mediterranean fare, all in the artsy confines of Neighborhood of the Arts' Village Gate.

This is not a pita chips and hummus place, nor another Sunday-sauced Italian-American joint. Rather, Polizzi’s offers approachable fare influenced by the cuisine of Italy, France, Spain and Greece. Even the wine and spirits have been carefully selected to represent four of the larger nations on the northern border of the Mediterranean Sea.
