DINING OUT IN THE VALLEY

SAGRA BISTRO EXCELS
AT COMFORT FOOD
IN A COZY ENVIRONMENT

Bacon and Blue Burger Diverse comfort food is what’s on the menu at
Sagra Bistro & Bar this fall — the kind that will
remind you of the homestyle dishes your mother used
to make. In this case, owner Robyn Cavallaro is turning
to her own mother’s recipes for each week’s specials,
making savory additions to a seasonal menu already
perfect for warming you on a crisp day.

“I’m calling it ‘From My Mother’s Recipe Box’,” says
Cavallaro, who has turned an unassuming eatery in the
middle of Hellertown into a bustling, cheerful restaurant
that is popular with locals and brings in constant repeat
business. “My mother is the best cook I know, hands
down. Growing up, you’d sit around the table and have a
family meal, so I’m going to feature a comfort food item
each week that I had as a child. People feel it brings
them nostalgia and a sense of family and family dinners.
That’s the kind of atmosphere I want to have. It’s fun. It’s
not meant to be quiet and intimate.”
