Buon Giorno a Tutti!
I am so excited to announce our Autumn Wine Dinner. This coming dinner will be a little different than usual, as we visit 6 wines and 5 dishes from our acquired cousins of the South Americas: Argentina and Uruguay. There, we found intriguing wines, several Italian-heritage dishes, and a lot of delicious choices.
Our decision to explore this part of the world was also partly to celebrate and welcome a new neighboring business to our Olympia restaurant: Ricardo Alferez and Partners from Cutz Butchery & Seafood. We've been sourcing several of our meat and pork products from Ricardo in the last few months, and most of the premium proteins in this wine dinner will be from Cutz, which focuses on locally and sustainably raised meat and seafood.
This event is prepaid at the time of booking, with tax and gratuity fully included. It is fully refundable up to 72 hours before the event.
We are happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions, provided you inform us at the time of booking. However, there may be a slight upcharge depending on how specialized the alternate preparations will be.
Book by Friday, August 3rd, and receive a $25 gift certificate to return to us! One gift certificate will be issued for every two people booked.
I'm looking forward to seeing you numerous and ready for a warm South American-Italo inspired evening!
