Even if you’re not bound for the Italian coast, you can make the most of the last few weeks of summer the way Italians do it with the Ferragosto menu at Sogno in Woburn. Each year Italian cities pretty much close up shop while everyone skips town for the beach (the tradition dates back to the time of 18 BC, the Emperor Augustus era). From Sunday, August 13th through Thursday, August 17th, you can get get out of town, too, and enjoy a taste of the old country with a special menu from chef Jason Maynard and his Woburn team.

If you’re dreaming about a day or two on the coast of Sardinia or Puglia, order up a Sogno Shellfish Sampler with chilled oysters, langoustines & local crab salad, with Prosecco mignonette, lemon, and Calabrian chili cocktail sauce, or order up a Grilled Branzino with fennel, lemon, olive oil and garden herbs to share for two. It’s not summer vacation without a cold bottle of rosé, so be sure to take a spin through their extensive wine list while you’re taking in all the bites. Peep the full Ferragosto menu below and make a reservation here to get in on the summer fun, or give them a call at 781.625.1300 to save your spot.
