Dine
Pressa Italia
An intimate Italian restaurant, wine bar, and neighborhood market, Pressa Italia offers one of the more refined dining experiences in Hochatown.
The kitchen turns out homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and chef-driven plates alongside a global wine list and Italian cocktails. Owned by Scott and Natalie Cross and led by Executive Chef Karl Guerre, the restaurant brings genuine culinary ambition to a town better known for casual comfort food. The indoor dining room is complemented by a patio and an outdoor lounge for guests waiting for a table.
Because seating is limited, reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends when walk-in waits can stretch to two hours. A connected market sells home goods and specialty Italian foods, so it’s easy to stock the cabin on the way out.

A locally owned coffee shop, bakery, and gift shop that has served the Hochatown area for over 15 years, Hochatown Coffee Central is a natural first stop before hitting the trails or the lake.
