Regional Cena: Sicilia

Each Friday night at the Italian Club we offer Cena or "Evening Meal".  Cena is our most popular weekly culinary offering and it always grows into large tables of friends both old and new sharing a delicious meal prepared by Chef Tomasso, good wines and lots of stories and laughter.  It truly is just like an evening at the dinner table with the Italian families many of us were raised in.


Beginning in January 2011, on the 2nd Friday of each month, we started offering Regional Cenas.  Over the course of 20 months we are exploring the 20 different regions of Italy with a menu that is prepared and wines selected that are specific to the region.  In addition we produce a detailed, multi-page brochure full of information about the selected region and our dance troupe I Colori perform dance numbers specific to the region.  This event has been hugely popular and it sells out each month.

This week, March 9-11, 2011 is our third regional offering:

Sicilia.

We kick the week of with a wine tasting during our Pasta/Pizza Night on Wednesday evening (March 9, 2011) and we pay it off at Cena on Friday night.  With many Sicilians as members of the club and with the popularity of the region in Italian culture, this Cena will be one you won't want to miss!


On Wednesday night (March 9) we'll be offering 8 different Sicilian wines for tasting and reservations and a listing of them can be found here.


On Friday night (March 11), our Sicilian menu is listed below and reservations, which are required, can be made here.
