Francesco Coli grew up inspired by the sea. And now, he's bringing that love for fresh plucked-from-the-ocean cuisine to New Rochelle with the opening (as of October 2017) Vento Bistro. The new eatery is, as Coli describes, "a chef forward coastal Italian concept with an ever-changing seasonal menu."

Fish and seafood are handpicked daily at the Fulton Fish Market in Hunt's Point. There are also housemade pastas -- all created in the kind of tiny galley kitchen you'd find in a New York City apartment. The restaurant -- attached to a wine shop that Coli also owns -- combines his extensive culinary past -- he grew up along Italy's Mediterranean coast -- with his extensive travels.
