Great Escape: Spice It Up At Café Notte

Just five miles down the road lies a culinary gem.

Looking for a change from your usual restaurant choices in Sewickley but don’t want to venture all the way Downtown to get a bite to eat? Patch has the perfect place to satisfy your palate.

Café Notte, just a few miles from Sewickley on Ohio River Boulevard in Emsworth, is an affordable and cozy tapas restaurant and wine bar that potential patrons probably drive by often and don’t even notice because of its unusual location.

Though you wouldn’t expect to discover a fine dining establishment right past the BP on Route 65, Café Notte is a surprising diamond in the rough. A wood-burning brick fireplace and fiber optic lights create a romantic atmosphere in which you can enjoy innovative tapas recipes with the freshest ingredients.

Café Notte often features piano players and soulful singers to enhance a romantic evening. If you’re looking to spice it up rather than relax, the restaurant has salsa dancing and karaoke nights, complete with drink specials.
