It’s all about coastal Italian fare at chef Nicole Brisson’s Brezza, where the James Beard Award semifinalist features seasonal ingredients across lunch and dinner. Enjoy an alfresco lunch of briny oysters, a crisp chopped salad and one of myriad cheesy pizzas paired with a refreshing Succosa Spritz. When night falls, sit under the stars to share a seafood platter, spaghetti pomodoro, Creekstone Farms filet mignon and a citrusy lemon olio verde tart.
