In southern Italy, the holidays begin at the table, with a long evening of dishes drawn from the sea. On Saturday, December 19, Vintage brings that tradition home to Willow Grove.
The evening unfolds over an amuse bouche and four courses: crisp oysters with prosciutto, cavatelli with clams and uni, calamari filled with shrimp and crab. Each is paired with a wine chosen to carry you down the length of Italy, from the alpine vineyards of the Aosta Valley to the warm hills of Sicily.
It is a small gathering, thirty guests at most, and the kind of evening that only happens in the quiet week before the holidays arrive in earnest. Come hungry. Stay late.
