The Café

Casual Cuisine At The Village Café

At the heart of Briarcliff Village sits the Café, overlooking the Downtown skyline. The center of life in every Tuscan villa, the Café is a place to gather friends for a meal or relax after a busy day. Sit outside on our patio and watch the sun over the cliffs. Visit our cozy cafeteria for some local cuisine, using homegrown ingredients and recipes by area chefs. Fine wine and cocktails are served at our bar, overseen by industry veteran Steve Smith. And shoppers on the go can find pastries, sandwiches, box lunches, and even take-home meals prepared on request. Ask a member of the Café staff about catering your next event.
