Style gives us the scoop that the long-awaited Cafe’ Caturra opens this week. And in other good news, one of my friends favorite restaurants, The Barrel Thief, will also be expanding from Short Pump to the Near West End. And, a new seafood restaurant comes to town! Here are the details:

It’s been a bit of a slow spell for Westhampton-area food news, but that changes starting this week. Three wine-oriented destinations are opening, and all build on established local businesses that emphasize casual affordability and food savoir-faire.

First up is Café Caturra at 5811 Grove Ave., a stunning, lodge-like space with stone fireplace, hefty timbers, well-furnished nooks and terraces. House-roasted coffee, pastries, house-made soups and sandwiches are offered, as are wines by the glass or bottle. The business opens this week and serves daily.

Across the street, in the former du Jour and Escabar space, Gary York is launching Coast, an American seafood restaurant. York’s wine bar on West Broad Street, Enoteca Sogno, has been a favorite of food and wine cognoscenti who appreciate the owner’s well-traveled knowledge of Italian vineyards and authentic cooking techniques.

Barrel Thief Wine Shop & Café branches out from Short Pump into a comparably chic space at 5805 Patterson Ave. in the former A.R. Bevans clothing shop. Barrel Thief co-owner Ned Wheeler says the business will focus on Italian wines (Short Pump’s selections lean toward French), and will follow the same café formula with a select, locally sourced menu of light fare and retail-priced wines. It should be on track for a late September opening. www.barrelthiefwine.com
