Our restaurant and pizzeria Maestrale it's the wind that brings good and bad weather in the Italian peninsula. Our small family owned place is open for dinner six days a week. Our dishes originally are from Puglia in south Italy: la puccia, focaccia, mozzarella, orecchiette, panzerotti and the sea food dishes, the famous Pugliese olive oil as well as the fine selection of wine are a must! The atmosphere is friendly, family style dining, and also for romantic and special occassions, inspired from the old style elegant Italian restaurants where you feel just like at home, alla salute!

We had a delicious Christmas day dinner. I chose the restaurant over many others because they had enough variety to accommodate my vegetarian wife, and my elderly in-laws visiting from Germany. My wife loved the cauliflower steak, and my in-laws and I thought the 24 hour slow cooked short ribs were excellent. Most restaurants have nothing for vegetarians and it's so difficult to find both meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. They did a great job at Libby's with both.
