Last Big Night of 2006 at Grotto

Chef Scott Herritt’s popular Big Night Dinner at Grotto comes out for another encore on Wednesday, November 15th. For anyone who’s not familiar with the concept – Grotto’s Big Night Dinner pays tribute to the 1996 foodie movie, Big Night, which is about two Italian brothers who create a lavish dinner of authentic regional Italian dishes for the great bandleader, Louis Prima in a last ditch effort to save their flailing restaurant. Grotto recreates the mood, setting, and the five-course menu from the movie with timpano and whole roasted suckling pig, beef tenderloin, lamb, chicken, and a wide selection of fresh vegetables. Staff and guests are encouraged to dress in the 50’s era clothing worn in the movie. The Big Night dinner, which starts at 7:00pm, costs $70 dollars with wine, or $50 dollars if you’d like to chose your own vintage. Call 617.227.3434 for reservations.
