Café Lily Description:
Dishes from around the Mediterranean, including Portugal, Greece, Spain, southern France, Italy, Morocco and Lebanon, turn up from time to time on the menu of this lively neighborhood spot. All business for lunch, the restaurant turns dreamy and romantic at dinner. A selection of small plates may serve as tapas (or meze) or could be used to compose a lovely light meal. Or check out the bistro plates. We like the lamb gyro, although we would like it to include more of the nicely cooked lamb. Some of the small plates grace the lunch menu as well, which also features a substantial selection of singular sandwiches. For the sweet conclusion, order the fig cake with manchego cheese, almonds (usually, or lacking those, walnuts) and candied orange peel. We also like the coconut cream pie. The wine list includes perhaps the largest selection of Zinfandels in town, including five Turley options. Good by-the-glass choices allow one even to savor a chilled dry sherry before dinner. Chef-owner Anthony Pitillo opened this spot with his late father, Angelo.
