Take a break between sightseeing adventures to check out one of these amazing restaurants. Whether you’re in the mood for fish rolls or something a bit fancier, you’re sure to find it at one of these establishments.

1. Jacob’s Restaurant

Simplicity is the key to great-tasting food at Jacob’s Restaurant. Some restaurants put their effort into such a unique presentation that the meal becomes nearly unrecognizable. Jacob’s aims to scale it back by presenting dishes based not on art but on high-quality foods that diners recognize immediately. That down-to-earth attitude about food carries over into the restaurant’s atmosphere. Large windows and a white interior create plenty of light that leads to a bright, easygoing space to dine. The gorgeous chandelier in the middle of the room simply adds to the ambiance.

Pull up a chair and try one of Jacob’s unique French Haute cuisine-inspired dishes, all made using the freshest ingredients possible, including produce from regional farms. Try the saddle of venison served with celery, port wine figs, Velvet Pioppini, and ravioli, or share a dish for two with your dining partner. The crispy young duck is said to be delicious and is carved right at your table. A full wine list and variety of desserts complete your experience at Jacob’s Restaurant.

2. Dal Fabbro

Who says you need to eat German food just because you’re in Germany? As tasty as the local cuisine is, Dal Fabbro simply can’t be missed. The family-owned Italian restaurant resides in a charming old brick building. Combine that with elegant interior décor and ambient candlelight, and it’s easy to see why diners fall in love with the place.

Salvatore Testa oversees the kitchen to ensure each dish is the freshest, highest-quality meal possible. The kitchen serves a variety of mouth-watering dishes, including house-made ravioli served in porcini and truffle cream, veal slices alongside tuna cream and capers, and much more.
