Morty's is exactly the kind of spot every neighborhood dreams of having. It's a focacceria (!!!), a cool little market, and a bar all rolled into one, with a vibe that's inspired by rustic Italy and Central Europe. It just feels welcoming the second you walk in.
We dove right into the menu and were blown away. Here's the rundown of what we ordered:
*The Drinks: Gazdina Pear Brandy & Rally
Car Driver. The brandy was a definite sipper and the rally car driver was a nice all around cocktail.
*The Apps: We tried the Chicken Paprikash, which is roasted chicken thigh in the red tomato based and creme fraiche. Very different yet delicious.
* The Sandwiches: The house-made focaccia is the star here! So fresh and perfect. The Mostly Italian, and the Young Leek. Both were phenomenal, packed with adventurous and comforting flavors.
You can tell a lot of thought goes into these combinations.
* Caesar Salad: I'm not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best Caesar salads I have had in a very long time. The dressing was perfect, the croutons were crunchy... chef's kiss. Do not skip this!
Beyond the amazing dine-in menu, I love that it's a multi-purpose space. You can grab a unique bottle of wine from the market, pick up some quality pantry goods, or just post up at the bar for a craft beer or a classic cocktail. The playlist curated a lovely vibe as well.
Morty's is more than just a restaurant/ deli; it's a community hub. It's the perfect place to gather with friends or just stumble into a good conversation. I'll definitelv be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. Go check it out y’all!
