Montelupo was part of a welcome trend when it opened as a two-in-one market and restaurant. Since its inception, it has continued to expand, welcoming in diners for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as a casual, counter service Italian cafe and bistro, while still offering its menu of takeout dinners and Italian ingredients. Diners can enjoy the rustic pasta dishes inside, outside, and for takeout, with items like the delicate tajarin with truffle butter and piles of parmesan, hearty pappardelle with porcini-braised pork shoulder, and the excellent lemon chicken cavatelli with capers and olives. Additionally, the market sells fresh pasta dishes to prepare at home, wine, pantry staples, and everything else needed to turn home kitchens into fine Italian dining.
