The Patio at 1578 — Restaurant in South Bristol

My (now) husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at The Patio at 1578. I couldn't have asked for a better rehearsal dinner. Everything was absolutely perfect. Mark and Kim worked with us to create a wonderful family-style Italian feast for our around 30 guests. We arrived around 5:30 and started off with delicious cocktails. We had 3 hors d'oeuvres (bruschetta, lamb chops, and arancini) which were all delectable and served on trays. The main course was a summer salad, bread, and three family-style dishes: tagliatelle bolognese, risotto milanese with shrimp, and fettuccini carbonara. For dessert we had a fruit preserve filled ice cream coated in chocolate. Mark and Kim were so accommodating to those with special dietary restrictions. It was the perfect menu for us, the perfect atmosphere, and the perfect evening. I can't wait to go back for more of their delicious food and excellent service! Thanks so much Mark & Kim!

Our five course meal included house made smoked salmon crostini, steak and quail egg with chimichurri, caprese, halibut francaise with potatoes and salad, and unbelievably great creme brûlée. We had good cocktails and wine. And just relaxed! Would...

Phenomenal kaleidoscope of flavors cooked up with fresh ingredients. Open just a few nights a week with set menu; meal begins promptly at 6. Call ahead to find out the chef has...
