Dolcetto Opens Up On West Broadway

Regular readers will remember that Cru Restaurant owner Mark Taylor opened up a new cafe on West Broadway a couple of months back. It was named after the grape varietal, “Dolcetto”, which translates from the vernacular as “Little Sweet One”.

    Michelle and I dropped by for the first time after an under-dressed walk in the cold last night, and warmed up with some killer 49th Parallel coffee before moving on to dinner. It’s a cozy little spot with some cool art on the walls by Philip Martin, and you know the black stuff is the real deal. Check it out at 2967 West Broadway, just West of Bayswater. They’re open from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. Linkage.
