12.18 Feast of 7 Fishes.png

Each Christmas Eve, millions of Italian-American families celebrate with a Feast of the Seven Fishes – a seven-course seafood meal designed to celebrate the sea, a major connection in Italy. Today, it's considered one of the oldest Italian traditions — but we give America credit for that!

The ancient tradition of eating fish on Christmas Eve dates back to the Roman Catholic custom of abstinence from meat and dairy products on the eve of certain holidays, including Christmas. The number seven has deep roots in the Bible from the seven sacraments to the number of days of involved in creation - hence the seven courses!

Join our chefs as we prepare and discuss this very special culinary custom. The menu will feature:

·       Baked Shrimp with Lemon and Oregano

·       Fruitti di Mare Salad

·       Grilled Rockfish

·       Pasta alle vongole (spaghetti with clam sauce)

·       Cioppino 

·       Limoncello Gelato

·       Cannoli & Espresso
