RESTAURANT: Il Vesco Vino
With its creaky floors, exposed brick, and multiple fireplaces, the Victorian manse at
579 Selby has always welcomed diners with casual elegance. When it housed The Vintage
Restaurant, the food reviews were mixed, but with the opening of Il Vesco Vino (The
Bishop.s Wine), the cuisine finally matches its surroundings in terms of both quality and
comfort. The venerable family behind I Nonni and Buon Giorno discreetly took over the
space and brought in their honored Italian recipes for dishes like ventresca tuna, beef
carpaccio, grilled octopus, and a dense and satisfying gnocchi.all paired with interesting
wines offered by the carafe.
579 Selby Ave., St. Paul;
