Two of the area's favorite restaurants have come together in Rising Creek 2 Tutto Gelato.

This was really an exciting find for me when I stumbled upon it some time ago now. These are two great restaurants - one that has been located over the state border and another that has been a pillar in the Morgantown community for years.

Gelato? Sandwiches? Appalachian bread? This new spot has it all and more.

Located in Star City in a small plaza that I haven't seen a restaurant in before, Rising Creek 2 Gelato offers breakfast options like smoked salmon on salt rising bread, lunch options like the "Florentine," which has grilled chicken, provolone, fontina, tomato, spinach, sun-dried tomato pesto and garlic mayo; and gelato and espresso.

I ultimately went with the "SMOKED SALMON ON SALT RISING" - Smoked salmon, house made cream cheese caper spread, pickled red onions and fresh greens served with a side of fruit. It's like an Appalachian version of bagel & lox. It's that same tasty flavor profile all piled on salt rising bread.

And that salt rising bread adds a deliciously buttery flavor. And something as simple as a green salad and fresh fruit adds some lightness, freshness and acidity. Very tasty.

To top it all off, I tried a macaron! You can't find them everywhere in town, so it's a bit of a treat. And, it was tasty, too. Overall, a lovely brunch that I wouldn't hesitate to enjoy again.
