The Return of Recchiuti; A Savory & Sweet Dinner, No. 2
Sunday July 19, 6:30pm
What more can we say about this one? It's a celebration for Michael Recchiuti's 49th birthday. We've collaborated with Michael to compose a six-course "comfort" menu around beautiful summer produce. Though nothing is set in stone, expect a lavish antipasti platter of cured meats, tomatoes, eggplant, figs, stone fruits, etc; a ricotta gnocchi in Grandma Recchiut's crushed tomato "gravy"; individual ramekins of eggplant parmesan with greens; a locally-sourced roasted whole fish with a fruit and herb compote, served with rapini; a cheese course with house-baked bread, and Michael's own ice cream sandwiches.
The price will be $85, plus tax and 18% gratuity. We will offer a matching flight of wines (price TBD), or one can order wine off Piccino's daily list.
This one is almost sold out. To reserve your seats call Wayne at (415) 350-5157 or e-mail: wayne@garciayrogat.com
Also, do check out Michael's tres cool series of tasting demos, where chocolates will be paired with salts, olive oils, St. George Spirits, cheeses, Far West Fungi mushrooms, and Magnolia's microbrews. http://www.recchiuti.com/calendar.html?id=dzdzC3zt
Robert Chadderdon Selections
We're delighted to announce that our small, carefully edited wine list has taken another step up with the addition of the superb, traditionally made wines imported by Robert Chadderdon Selections. Along with wines from Kermit Lynch, Chadderdon's bottles have long graced our tables at home, and we're delighted to be serving them alongside Piccino's Italian-inspired menu. Our current line up includes the highly aromatic Riccardo Bruna Pigato, a Ligurian white that will transport you to the Mediterranean; two outstanding reds from Piemonte: an earthy, sun-kissed Dolcetto D'Alba from Manzoni, and a deeply elegant Barbera D'Alba from the brothers Fantino; and a classic Rosso di Montalcino (pure Sangiovese) from the Talenti estate. As per usual, you may enjoy these by the glass, carafe, or bottle.
Private Parties
Piccino's warm and inviting space makes a great spot for private parties. Whether it's a birthday, graduation, or holiday office party, we're here to collaborate on special seasonal menus, wine pairings, desserts, and customized graphics. And with our newly expanded indoor seating, we can now accommodate more revelers! For more information phone Sher at (415) 824-4224 or e-mail sher@piccinocafe.com
