NAPLES, Fla. - CuisineWire -- Old Vines Naples at Mercato is welcoming the season with a fresh lineup of fall-inspired dinner dishes.

The culinary team has been hard at work in the kitchen, creating a selection of new menu items that spotlight the rich flavors and ingredients of autumn. Diners will find tantalizing starters like a seasonal refresh on the restaurant's signature burrata salad, featuring local squash, pomegranate, grilled pear and candied pecans. Other small bites include the crab salad layered over crisp asparagus, pickled Fresno chilis, creamy avocado and an aerated hollandaise.

For entrées, the restaurant is serving up a decadent new house-made ravioli, filled with braised pork and local mushrooms, and finished with earthy truffles, fresh kale and toasted pine nuts. Another option for pasta lovers is the fall squash gnocchi, topped with apples, green mole and pumpkin seeds.

Seafood lovers can enjoy the roasted red snapper, served with cauliflower purée, scallions, mushrooms, cauliflower florets and a chicken lemon and caper jus, or the seared scallops, paired with sunchoke, bacon, corn, roasted sunchoke purée and a tarragon pistou.
