Guest Hostess
Each month we will endeavor to bring in an Italian guest host/hostess to enlighten and enhance our gathering honoring all things Italian. We encourage those who speak Italian to refresh and use their language skills though it is far from being a prerequisite for the dinner, there is still plenty of English spoken. If you love all things Italian, the food, the culture, the art and lifestyle then you should come and enjoy the whole experience.
Chef Bill Crouse always puts out so much food – abbondanza! Here is a selection of the dishes for the evening and who knows what else that might move the chef that day at the market:
MENU
Fritto Misto
Lamb Meatballs
Grilled Radicchio Salad with Anchovy-Lemon Dressing
Linguine with Fennel, Currants, Parsley and Olive Oil
Mushroom Gnudi with Gruyere Fondue
Grilled Whole Red Snapper
Sous Vide Lamb Shoulder
Panna Cotta
We all sit at a communal table, food is served family-style and there is wine for everyone.
