Caffe Azzurri New Restaurant in Hillsdale MI

Caffe Azzurri (517-437-7538) will be opening on Tuesday March 15, 2011. The restaurant is on the site of Hillsdale Golf and Country Club at 1990 Ash-te-Wette Drive on Lake Baw Beese just South of Hillsdale on highway 99. The restaurant is scheduled to be open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The main dining room features a view of beautiful Baw Beese Lake.

"Azzurro" is Italian for "blue" with "Azzurri" being the plural form, "blues". The restaurant has taken the blues theme for its location on a lake with a blue theme throughout their menu. A sneak peak at the menu shows interesting choices for lunch including Chicken Walnut Pesto on a Croissant and Grilled Shrimp Po-Boy along with other more traditional salads, burgers, and sandwiches priced at $6 and up. The dinner menu includes Filet Mignon, Lake Perch, and Veal Marsala along with a nice variety of steaks, poultry, seafood, and pasta. Most of the dinner selections are priced at $12-$16.

A full bar stocks a wide variety of beer, wine, and spirits. For dessert, they will be making their soon-to-be-famous Apple Bread Pudding plus house made ice cream.

Whether you spell it Cafe Azure, Cafe Azuri, or Cafe Azurri, make some time to welcome this new fine dining restaurant--Caffee Azzurri--to the shores of Lake Baw Beese in Hillsdale County.
