Ah, I remember the days of stopping by Pizza di Napoli after work in Edgartown last year, and then it was gone. This pizza place that was once located in Nevin Square — just across from our new Point B Real Estate Store — quickly made a name for itself. With fresh, inspired combinations of topics, and a crust to die for, it wa...

Isola is open for the season, and has a fresh approach to making nights in Edgartown fun. Since things are a little quiet still — though Summer is right around the corner — Isola is mixing it up a bit. A number of dining tables have been removed, and a comfy couch and chairs were added instead, creating a cozy lounge area. The spa...

If you look up larder on Wikipedia, you’ll find that it is “a cool area for storing food prior to use.” Interestingly enough, The Larder on State Road in Vineyard Haven offers just that, with a twist. The Larder is a collaboration between Jefferson Munroe, from the Good Farm, and Daniele Barrick, from Scottish Bakehouse, and t...

UPDATE: Randy Rucker is no longer with State Road. A chef can be a storyteller with food, and that is what the new chef at State Road is. Chef Randy Rucker came to Martha’s Vineyard from Texas in October, and hasn’t looked back. A previous owner of three restaurants in Texas, he is now enjoying focusing all his energy on the ...

Now I am not necessary a buffet fan, but there are those instances that change your mind. I recently discovered one — the buffet on Sunday nights at Copper Wok. For lunch and dinner, Copper Wok offers an all you can eat Chinese Buffet, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., for $10.99, and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., it’s $14.99...

I love a good theme night for dinner, a party, just about anything. When I heard of Veggie-Centric Sunday at Offshore Ale, I knew I would have to check it out. It’s the new year, and many of us are still trying to eat more healthy, which includes more veggies, and there are a lot of vegetarians on Island. All of whom would ben...

What does everyone love? Free stuff, and here’s the scoop on where to get some really great free nibbles and have an amazing time. During these grey months, Rockfish knows how to entice people to come out. On Thursday and Friday nights from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the staff serve free passed apps in the first floor bar (yes only t...

I sometimes think that people don’t go out to dinner during the winter months for fear of being the only ones in a restaurant. That’s why I love writing our Frugal Foodie series which focuses on some of the best deals, and winter perks with the Island restaurant scene. These nights are usually quite popular and offer a great w...

I was able to sit and catch up with The Ritz‘ general manager, Ben DeForest (not a mistake, Ben has been the GM since the Fall). I like chatting with Ben — it’s half motivation speaker (though he may not know it) and half interesting Island happenings. Ben has made a lot of changes in his life over the past year and a half. He has...

Across the street from the Vineyard Haven post office, you will find the newly opened Sweet Bites. As the name might indicate, you will find an amazing and very different selection of sweet treats, but there’s more. Owner, baker, Sonia DeStefani is no stranger to the restaurant/baking world on the Island. She and her husband ...
