Multi-course dinners are pretty sweet—especially when every course is dessert. Head to Benedetto in the Charles Hotel on Monday, September 18th for La Dolci Vita, a five-course tasting menu with beverage pairings from award-winning pastry chef Renae Connolly. Indulge with dishes like chocolate ricotta toast and Connolly’s homemade gelato with cookie bowls alongside curated adult beverages (to remind you that this really is for grownups). Tickets are $75, and this is a 21+ event. The chef recommends a savory snack before attending, but you definitely won’t leave hungry. For more info and to treat yourself to a ticket, click here.
