Opened a few years as ago as Vita by 30-year restaurant veteran Tony LaRocco, Thirsty Dog Tavern retains the Italian menu of Vita but is now dog friendly (they even have a menu of tasty tidbits for Fido) and offers wall-to-wall televisions for sports lovers.

Romantic family-style Italian destination where owner Tony LaRocco puts an emphasis on serious hospitality and Italian sustenance. Live music echoes throughout the dining room nightly.
