You and your four-legged friend can dine together (outside of course) at the new Italian restaurant Botanica. It comes from the owner of Six Mile Bridge Brewery. The 1,300-square-foot space in Wildwood features seating for more than 300 guests, two event spaces and an outside bar and patio. Botanica will host live music on the weekends on the outdoor patio.

Now let's talk about the menu by Executive Chef Ben Welch. It comes in four categories: small plates, pastas, pizzas and entrees. You can order dishes like buttermilk biscuits, gnocchi, linguine with squid ink and southern-style catfish.
