Opened on Valentine's Day in 2005, Café Zito is the creation of Chef Baptist Knaven and his wife Jennifer Kelley, who spent two years renovating this historic location and transformed it into the fine restaurant it is today. Although the name is derived from a Greek word which means to seek, for the owners it has a two-fold meaning - to create a restaurant they were searching for and which also represents their endless search to better their food and service.

This dynamism resonates through staff and the food, which is fresh, harvested locally and with integrity. Their ideology is to search for the best ingredients, combine them in simple yet surprising ways and dishes full of unique flavor and richness are sure to follow as evident in the baked calamari stuffed with spinach and chèvre, and chorizo and beans. Main courses of pesto encrusted grilled fillet mignon, served lemon-Parmesan risotto, tempura fried asparagus and chimichuri demonstrate some innovative Mediterranean cooking.
