Esca

Coastal Mediterranean grill and bar from Ben Poremba and the Bengelina Team. Inspired by the French and Italian Riveras, the food is what they call “The Cuisine of the Sun”: rustic, fresh, olive oil-drenched, simply prepared, and deeply flavored, with an emphasis on charcoal and wood cooking. The bar features classical cocktails and a library-sized selections of aperitifs, amari, aromatized wines, and anisettes. The wine list is ambitious as you would expect, thoughtfully curated and managed by Bengelina’s own, Mr. Luciano Racca. Located in St. Louis' Delmar Maker's District.
