Red House Café is now open in NoDa

Both have experience in the food industry, having owned a carry-out restaurant and dessert business in New Jersey, but this is the pair’s first sit-down venture.

The Italian-American menu features classics like minestrone, baked ziti, lasagna, eggplant parmesan and more.

Desserts, made in-house with – and this important enough for Schulman to note on the website – real butter, include cookies and cheesecake.

There’s also a walk-up window on the side of the house, from which customers can order smaller entrées and choose from a variety of ice creams, flavors of which include pistachio, white chocolate raspberry and Charleston sea salt caramel.

See the full menu here.

While they don’t yet have their alcohol permits, look for wine and beer to be added to the menu eventually.

For now, dinner will be served from a limited menu during the hours of 5 and 10 p.m. through Sunday. According to Schulman, they’ll take another look at the situation early next week and determine if they’re ready to move into their full business hours (11 a.m.-10 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. on weekends).
