Esca is Middletown's newest Italian Restaurant and upscale wine bar. 'Esca' is an Italian word, which means 'to lure'. Patrons can expect a culinary display that is an experience unto itself. Plate after plate comes out of the kitchen, each one a work of art. The wine menu offers options for 'flights', as well as single glasses. Esca is conveniently located on the corner of Washington (Rt 66) and Main Street. Al Fresco dining, as well as elevated mezzanine dining are just two of the options available to patrons.
