Whether you come to Three of Cups for their delicious food, their daily Happy Hour, or the DJs spinning 6 nights a week until 4am. Traditional Italian is on the menu; we dig the Spaghetti Puttanesca–spicy plum tomato sauce with anchovies, capers, onions and calamata olives, the Bacala–a pan seared golden brown Cod fish drizzled with Puttanesca sauce and served with baked fennel and creamy polenta, and all the pizzas, especially the Al Giardino, with mozarella, tomato, onion, fresh arugula, and calamata olives. 'Cups also offers a nice brunch, with unique dishes like Ouva al Forno–baked eggs on a bed of wilted greens with prosciutto & mozzarella, or on a bed of plum tomatoes, onions & peas. Big bonus: brunch selections include a choice of tea or coffee, and TWO Bloody Marys or Mimosas; can you say "hair of the dog?"
