Castro Ascarrunz is the head of the family that owns Vino Restaurant, and the business has been a family endeavor for more than four decades. Like the rest of his brood, he wears many different hats at the eatery — proprietor, chef, server, and even entertainer, according to his bio. Together, they create a warm and welcoming environment, and they craft healthy, fresh Italian food.

To start, share a few tapas like the roasted eggplant with mozzarella, the fresh Caprese salad with citrus vinaigrette, or the meatballs with herb ragout and tomato sauce. For the main course, try the linguini tossed with prawns, artichokes, tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and zucchini relish. Treat yourself to the aged lamb mignon, roasted with a veal demi-glace and served with parmesan potatoes. Dig into the wild salmon dressed simply in a sauce of white wine and capers. For dessert, enjoy a light option, like the cannoli or tiramisu.
