The Cup and Saucer opening next week
The space at 743 S. Eighth is beginning to look cozy, and will soon be filled with the aroma of homemade stocks and garlicky scents familiar to Italian kitchens — next week, Bridget Coccia and Domenic Collaretti will be cooking at that address (Eighth, just off Fitzwater). Bridget and her husband Albert, married for 21 years, grew up working at his family's famed Frankie's Seafood Italiano at 11th and Tasker. Now they're launching their own breakfast/lunch café, The Cup and Saucer, in which Collaretti (Mary's Catering) is a partner, this coming Monday, January 23.
What can you expect from TC&S? La Colombe coffee through a manual drip, a breakfast menu featuring fruit-stuffed French toast and handmade crepes and a lunch menu with traditional Italian dishes as well as vegan specials and homemade soups. Steph Vacca from the Restaurant School does the desserts, while Bridget and Dom do the cooking seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. They're looking to keep prices between $6 and $14 and plan to host art exhibitions in the future. Their full opening menu is after the jump.
