Last month, we shared that Sonder had opened in Belcourt Village, giving us yet another reason to linger a little longer in one of our favorite neighborhood shopping centers. 

 

Just across the Center Point grassy area, Vecchio’s Pizzeria & Gelateria has been quietly – and deliciously – dazzling its neighbors. Known for its Napolitano-style pizzas and authentic Italian gelato, Vecchio’s has begun expanding its menu to include additional mouthwatering dishes and a lineup of inventive cocktails that feel straight out of Italy. 

 

If you haven’t stopped in yet, consider this your invitation to stroll – or drive – over and experience the goodness for yourself. 

Vodka Rosa Pizza: 
House vodka rosa sauce, slow-simmered with garlic and Calabrian red pepper, topped with fresh fior di latte and aged Pecorino Romano. Finished after the bake with creamy burrata, extra virgin olive oil, and a balsamic reduction drizzle. 

 

A luxurious take on cacio e pepe. Garlic-infused olive oil and Pecorino Romano form the base, layered with melted fior di latte, vodka rosa dollops, and fresh pesto. Finished with prosciutto, a whole burrata in the center, cracked pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. 

 

Vecchio's Grazing Board 
A curated board of some of our most loved starters: mini caprese salad, fichi & burrata, & ricotta montata with the addition of assorted cheeses, cured meats, & marinated olives. Served with a side of toasted baguette and generously sized to share. 

 

Vecchio’s Spritz 
Blood orange aperitivo, prosecco, soda, Amarena cherry, orange peel. 
Bright, lightly bitter, and refreshing with layered citrus and a subtle dark cherry finish. 

Limoncello al Basilico 
Limoncello-style aperitivo, prosecco, fresh basil, lemon 
Zesty, aromatic, and refreshing – a modern Italian classic inspired by the Amalfi Coast. 

 

And they’re not stopping there. By the time this edition reaches your hands, Vecchio’s will have introduced its own take on a beloved Italian tradition: Aperitivo at Vecchio’s, featuring select cocktails, wines, and small bites, Tuesday through Thursday from 4–6pm. 

 

An early evening gathering on their open-air patio, a beautifully crafted pizza, a chilled spritz in hand – sometimes the best moments with friends or loved one are the simplest ones.
