Veneto— On July 11 and 12 Rialto's annual wine BBQ is going to Venice. We'll have delicious snacks called cichetti, bellinis and lots to grill with wine flowing from the Veneto.
Picture this: you are sitting in a courtyard, nibbling on cichetti (that's Italian for Venetian bites to eat), sipping a lovely winefrom the  Veneto and about to enjoy a four-course meal with fish and wine and pasta and dessert. Now imagine this: that very meal will happen on July 11 and 12 at Rialto in Harvard Square. No need to hop on a plane to Italy. We are bringing it all to you (we may even manage to get some gondoliers involved). We will be dining al fresco in the Charles Hotel courtyard. Reception from 6-7, dinner from 7 onwards. The four course meal with paired wines from the Veneto is $95. Call 617.661.5050 for reservations.
