Trezo Mare Launches New Site

Here’s a suggestion for the foodie on your list: a gift certificate to Trezo Mare, one of the “KC Originals” group of locally owned fine restaurants. And you don’t have to drive to Briarcliff to get it. Just in time for the holiday season, Trezo has launched a beautiful new website where you can order gift certificates, make reservations and more.

The new website at www.trezomare.com also lists upcoming events, such as a holiday toy drive and live music performances. If you’re not familiar with all of Trezo’s amenities, we strongly recommend you take a look. A wine locker membership also makes an excellent gift for the connoisseur in your life. And if you’re planning a holiday party, you can check out and book a private room onscreen. For those less formal occasions, Trezo Mare’s happy hour offers a festive gathering place, complete with a fireplace and delicious appetizers at amazing prices. (Not surprising, it’s consistently voted the best happy hour North of the River.)

And if you need any further reasons to dine at Trezo this season, consider this: the restaurant is 100% employee owned and operated; all ingredients are locally sourced and prepared by hand; and Trezo is a “green” restaurant with sustainable operating procedures.

You can find out more great facts like this on Trezo’s new website. So check it out, and make plans to include some fantastic Italian cuisine in your holiday.

Homemade Noodles at Trezo Mare

Trezo Mare has a reputation for fresh, all-natural foods. But did you know the restaurant actually makes its own pasta?

Owner/Operator Mike Lee says it’s not unheard of around the Metro. But while most places make only flat noodles, Trezo Mare cooks up batches of gourmet pasta in 5-6 different shapes, for the highest quality dining experience.

“Fresh noodles have a tendency to absorb the sauce, which makes for a great pasta,” Lee says.

Making noodles from scratch–the way everything is made in Trezo’s local, fresh kitchen–would seem like a difficult chore. But according to Lee, it’s become a routine process. Using an extruder machine, the kitchen staff combines flour, eggs and water, then presses the mix through a brass dye. It takes 25 minutes to make 3 lbs. of noodles. But when it comes to making the customer happy, there’s no comparison between dried pasta and the fresh stuff.

Trezo Mare strives for extra freshness with every dish. All proteins are natural, without hormones or antibiotics. Most produce is local, and fish is flown in from Hawai’i every day. And in addition to pasta, the kitchen also makes its own bread and mozarella.

Charles Garney, the developer of Briarcliff Village, purchased Trezo Mare two years ago. But the restaurant is actually employee owned–by its management team, its chefs, and even its dishwasher. The team strives to maintain a green organization, and to provide exceptional value to their guests.

“Seventeen out of 23 entrees are under $20–not including pizzas or salads,” Lee notes.

At prices like that, it’s hard to resist food that’s good for you and the environment. Be on the lookout for Trezo Mare’s new fall menu, full of fresh pasta dishes you won’t want to miss.

Dine For a Cause : April 16-21

Fans of Trezo Mare now have another reason to put a dinner of fresh seafood and delicious pasta on their to-do list for the week. In support of the Boutiques For Bloom fundraiser this Wednesday night in Briarcliff Village, Trezo is donating 10% of all meal proceeds this week to charities for the visually impaired. Simply mention that you’d like to support Boutiques for Bloom, and the restaurant will forward 10% of your bill to the cause. Charities supported include the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired, Alphapointe, and the Delta Gamma Foundation. (All non-profits which work to better the lives of visually impaired persons.)

It’s as easy as that. If you dig the food at Trezo, come dig in this week for dinner, lunch, or even happy hour appetizers. You’ll be helping Briarcliff Village make a difference and treating yourself at the same time.

A Charming Italian Valentine’s Day

Flights to Europe may exceed your budget, but it’s easy to whisk your valentine off to a Tuscan village. Arrive at Briarcliff before dinner and soak in some of the shops. Then, head straight to Trezo Mare for some of the best Italian cuisine in the city. The romantic setting includes high ceilings, fireplaces and elegant decor. And it’s one of the few restaurants in town where you’ll find fresh fish and seafood flown in daily from the coasts.

Trezo Mare has created a special five-course menu for Valentine’s Day at $65 per couple. (It’s a great way to try one of their decadent desserts, which no Valentine’s Day dinner should be without.) Also, ask about our pre-sale long stem roses when you make your reservation. In addition to a robust wine list, the restaurant has also saved a keg of Christopher Elbow Chocolate Ale just for the occasion.

And we know for a fact you can’t get that in Italy.
