Description

Summary: A busy spot known for small plates and a wine program, inviting groups to share and savor textures.

The Purple Pig occupies a lively space where crowds gather for shareable plates and a wine program that has grown to hundreds of bottles. The menu centers on small plates including antipasti, smears, fried items, panini and la plancha dishes, plus a strong spread of cheeses and house-made charcuterie. The decor nods to color with ceramic tiles and aged wine barrels, and the atmosphere remains energetic whether guests occupy a communal table or sit at the bar.
