Pizzeria Tra Vigne is just across the street from one of our other favorite kid-friendly dining spots, Taylor’s Refresher.
When it’s too hot or too cold for Taylors’ outdoor-only seating, or just when we feel like having pizza, we opt for Pizzeria Tra Vigne. Now, Pizzeria is not to be confused with the renowned, much-more fancy Tra Vigne Restaurant. Both places are part of the same restaurant group and are located pretty much next to each other (with Merryvale Vineyards slotted in between). But, Pizzeria is upscale-casual and very family-friendly, while Tra Vigne is more for those get-a-babysitter-evenings.
Pizzeria offers indoor or outdoor, first-come, first-serve seating as well as a small bar with wine & beer, a menu that changes seasonally, a pool table–and best of all–free corkage.
Because of the free corkage, our family of three can dine well (appetizer, salad, pizza and the soft-serve ice cream for dessert) for around $40.
