Church Aperitivo Bar

A hip resto-bar that was formerly a church, serving sophisticated Italian dishes and classic drinks.
Church Apertivo Bar has a very elegant and modern vibe, with splashes of old; high ceilings, double arched doors, aisles leading up to the altar, which houses the kitchen.

On Thursday, Saturday and Thursday nights, you'll be able to listen to a live DJ.

Polipo

Unfortunately, Church is very dimly lit, so taking food pictures was not optimal. However, it's a great atmosphere to get together with your friends for a laid back luxe kind of night, or a sultry romantic date night with your boo.

The dishes we ordered:

Carpaccio Di Manzo (pictured) - a beef carpaccio with mushrooms and parmigiano reggiano

Battuto Di Tonno - a tuna tartar with avocado, served with plantain chips

Polenta Fries - served with spicy tomato sauce and fontina truffle sauce

Fritto Misto - fried calamari and shrimp with green beans, served with a lemon mint aoili sauce

Polipo (pictured) - braised octopus with cannelini beans

1/2 Formaggi 1/2 Salumi Platter - a cheese and meat board

Carpaccio Di Manzo

We were brought an all cheese board instead of the 1/2 Formaggi 1/2 Salumi that we ordered.

Our server was extremely apologetic and quickly switched the all cheese board for the correct one. The staff was amazing and never allowed our glasses to be empty. Excellent service!

Reservations are not necessary.
