Here’s a little something to look forward to next week (especially if the whole back-to-school/unofficial end-of summer thing has got you feeling a little down): the SRV team is welcoming their friends and South End neighbors from Shore Leave to pop in for their next cicchetti takeover, scheduled for Wednesday, September 4th. Co-chefs Michael Lombardi and Kevin O’Donnell will be handing over the keys to the kingdom (aka the kitchen) to chefs Colin Lynch and Sam Olivari, who’ll be prepping a mini menu of complimentary snacks for guests in the bar and bacaro. Pop on over between 5:30 and 7:30pm to munch on dan dan wontons, katsu sandwiches or wagyu tartare, for starters (see below for their whole menu). You can call 617.536.9500 if you’ve got questions.
