If you plan to travel to Italy between late July and early September, be sure to check ahead of time to see if the places you desire to visit are open. Ferragasto (Assumption Day) is celebrated August 15 through September 1. Some businesses take off the last half of August, but some choose to close as early as late July and not reopen until early September! Many of us cannot get away for that long, so i Ricchi is offering fun getaways in August for you to escape from your routine and try being Italian for a bit.
We kick off the month with an informative Books Worth Reading with Dr. Ludy Green, Tuesday, August 9 from 5:30-7 pm that will address overcoming domestic violence and human trafficking through economic empowerment.
The following evening, Wednesday, August 10, provides an opportunity for you to savor the wines of Giorgio Colutta on our Piazza at our Under the Friulian Stars Wine Dinner.
We are participating in Restaurant Week once again, Monday-Saturday, August 15-20, and we close out the month with two unique events you should put on your calendar now: Stems + Spritz, Tuesday, August 23 and an Italian Sake Dinner, Tuesday, August 30.
There is also a plan for another Pop-Up Piazza Happy Hour from 5-7 pm–so be watching your email, Facebook and Twitter on those beautiful sunny days.
