June’s arrival means Summer is here, and we have planned numerous events to finally enjoy the warm, dry breeze on our Piazza outside. This month was most likely named after Juno, the queen of the gods and wife of Jupiter. Romans believed it to be the best month for marriage, since Juno was also considered the Goddess of Marriage. Please follow how we’re celebrating Summer with exciting events all month long.
Rosé may be pink, but that doesn’t mean it’s a woman’s drink. Everyone drinks this dry, bright wine in Italy. Sip it and learn how to serve it this Wednesday, June 6 at 6 pm at our Summer Guide to Rosé – Real Men Drink Pink on the Piazza. Taste 6 rosés from 4 countries while relishing bruschetta with herbed ricotta and roasted tomatoes; piadina filled with prosciutto, stracchino and arugula; and enjoy our strawberry crostata as a delightful ending.

As a baby boomer grandmother to three little angels, I have a unique perspective as I observe the intimate relationship their father has with them, even at this very young age. Every night, when they hear the front door open, there are cute squeals of delight . . . Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddyyyyyyyyy! He is definitely the most important man in their lives! As they grow, his encouraging words and inspiring actions will continue to guide their values and give them a sense of worth that will form their self image for life. How special would it be to create a time and place when fathers could treat their daughters to a very memorable night out. Just in time for Father’s Day, mark your calendars for Daddy-Daughter Date Night, Friday, June 15 from 5:30-10 pm. We will provide a special children’s menu with items to share, or you can order off our regular menu. This time could also be for teenage and adult daughters to treat their Dads to a memorable dinner together. Call (202) 835-0459 now to plan this special date with your daughter.
