As we anticipate the fresh start that a new year brings, we are giving you a rare opportunity to also celebrate New Year’s Eve in the Italian tradition with Cenone di San Silvestro – the Feast of St. Sylvester, Saturday, December 31, 5:30 pm-midnight. The night before a new year, Italians believe a person should eat lentils – a symbol of wealth – and pork – a symbol of life’s fullness. $89 (beverages, tax & gratuity not included). Complimentary champagne toast at midnight. Reserve your table today by calling us at (202) 835-0459. Felice Anno Nuovo!
