98: The Med Plate from La Bocca
When you need a break from the Strong Islands, Ladies’ Nights, and Atomic Cherries of Mill Avenue, head to the more grown-up La Bocca to fight the college daze. An impressive wine list, fruit-studded sangria by the glass, and the classy Med Plate will have you feeling urbane in no time.
Grab a glass of sangria or wine on happy hour, and snag a Med Plate for some serious noshing. It’s a sophisticated spread of basil-spiked hummus, smoky babaganoush, roasted bell peppers, colorful cured olives from Queen Creek Olive Mill, hunks of crumbly feta, and warm from the oven flat bread and toasts. Because you need something to shovel all that Mediterranean goodness into your hole.
