It is that time of the week again. That's right, our specials in the Tavern and Restaurant. This week we are featuring some of the tastes of Italy. Our starter is a Green Arancini. Creamy spinach and kale risotto with mozzarella, bread and deep fried to a golden brown- served over a roasted red pepper sauce. For our entree, we have Penne Noracini. A mix of roasted cremini mushrooms, brown butter, housemade fennel sausage, white w**e and cream. And to finish your meal, our Chocolate Banana Budino. A thick, rich banana infused chocolate budino, topped with whipped cream and crispy banana chips. And don't forget that after dinner drink with anyone of our amazing bartenders, featuring our new Fall Cocktail menu. This is definitely a tour of Italy you won't want to miss.
