Item Description

Enjoy dining all around Cooperstown with gift certificates from three local resturants. Use them for gifts, or treat yourself out.

Gift certificates to Spurbecks Grocery, Alex's Bistro, and Bocca Osteria.

Bocca Osteria-$25.00                                                                       

Founded in 2011, Bocca Osteria is a small, family-owned Italian restaurant located in scenic Cooperstown, NY. For years, our family served New York style pizza, generally recognized for its thin, crispy crust, with two other local pizzerias. However, I always wanted to try my hand at Neapolitan-style pizza due to my parents heritage.  Both from Naples, Italy, my mother’s cooking was something that I wanted others to experience first-hand. In fact, my mothers family in Italy still have their own trattoria to this day. They inherited the trattoria from my grandfather, who opened it following World War II.

With help from my uncle living in Italy, Fiorentino Falso, we purchased a six-ton custom-built oven from Naples, Italy, and had it shipped over to the United States. Also with the help of two other chefs, Jeremy Harris and Mark Harrington, we opened Bocca Osteria in January 2011. My mother prepares fresh gnocchi and fettuccine daily, but we are best known for our Neapolitan pizzas. With toppings like prosciutto, figs, and truffles, you will feel like you are enjoying your very own slice of Italy.

Alex's Bistro $50.00

Located on Main Street in Cooperstown, Alex's serves lunch and dinner year round. Dishes vary from Salmon Sesame Noodles, Jamaican Slow Roast Goat Curry and Moroccan Saffron Lamb Tagine. Chef Alex Webster runs two well reviewed restaurants in upstate New York, Alex's Bistro in Cooperstown and Cantina De Salsa in Cherry Valley. The restaurant boasts "international dishes made with Love. Fresh ingredients. Cozy atmosphere and full bar with specialty house cocktails."

Cantina de Salsa  $50.00

Cantina is a fun restaurant. The food is a sort of Mexican - TexMex combination straight from Alex Webster's culinary imagination. Margaritas and Sangrias are delicious. They are open for dinner and Sunday brunch. The atmosphere is festive, especially on a bustling night. Reservations are a good idea. One of my favorite meals is the pulled pork burrito.
 
Schneider's Bakery   $20.00
 

Since 1887, Schneider's Bakery  has been serving Cooperstown residents and visitors alike some of the tastiest baked goods around! Everything from moon pies and cupcakes, to chocolate chip cookies and homemade donuts, can be found at Schneider's. See the bakers in action through their large picture window.

Spurbeck's Grocery Store  $20.00
