Description

Summary: Gold accents and a moss wall create a whimsical, contemporary mood for ambitious cooking

BRESCA on busy 14th Street blends a neighborhood welcome with the energy of a special occasion spot. Inside, gold accents and a living moss wall lean playful and surreal, while the cooking remains casual yet ambitious. The kitchen embraces avant garde, French influenced ideas, and cocktails like The Daulphine St. Punch offer a playful counterpoint to savory courses such as pappardelle with lamb ragù. Service stays professional without pretension.
