Vicia
A vegetable-forward fine dining restaurant in the Central West End, celebrated for its wood-fired vegetables and regional farm-to-table ingredients, and a 2026 James Beard Outstanding Restaurant nominee.
Located in the Cortex district of the Central West End, Vicia is run by husband-and-wife team Michael and Tara Gallina. Michael previously trained under Dan Barber at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. The menu puts vegetables in the spotlight, sourcing ingredients from regional farms and pairing them with select meats and seafood. The signature is the wood-fired seasonal vegetables. It currently features a three-course "Let Us Cook for You" family-style sharing menu for $85 per person, with optional wine pairings. It was nominated for Outstanding Restaurant at the 2026 James Beard Awards. Booking ahead via OpenTable is highly recommended.
