RISTORANTE CATERINA DE' MEDICI
ITALY'S AUTHENTIC FLAVORS IN A MAGNIFICENT TUSCAN VILLA SETTING
A 2004 recipient of the prestigious Ivy Award, Ristorante Caterina de' Medici is located in the beautiful Colavita Center for Italian Food and Wine. Its á la carte menu features seasonal ingredients and authentic flavor combinations of this much-beloved cuisine, as well as a diverse selection of Italian wines, beers, and apéritifs. This student-staffed restaurant has five distinct dining areas, from the Joseph P. DeAlessandro main dining room with its Venetian chandeliers and brass sculptures, to the casual Al Forno Dining Room with its antipasto bar, wood-fired oven, and views of the kitchen.
