  • Chef Eric Hammond creates award-winning authentic, rustic Italian cuisine, lovingly prepared and artfully presented. Va Pensiero specializes in homemade pastas and breads, seafood, veal and lamb dishes, the freshest vegetables and exquisite desserts. The setting for this popular restaurant is as charming as it is romantic. Three dining rooms, including a sun-kissed patio, create a relaxed and intimate setting for a memorable evening. Classic Roman columns and Italianate tile floors complement the singular and creative cuisine. Whether you order off the menu or from the nightly specials, a creative flair can be found in every dish.
