Chef Mario LaPosta is taking a night off from making Neapolitan-style pizzas at da LaPosta, his award-winning Newton pizza shop, to take over the ceviche bar at Pescador on Thursday, July 27th. He will surely be bringing a Mediterranean vibe to a special multi-course tasting menu of crudo, ceviche, and other bites at the coastal-inspired grill located at the steps of the Hotel Commonwealth, thanks to his pizza apprenticing days in Rome. Dinner costs $95 per person and you can make a reservation here between 6:00 and 8:00pm, plus you can add an optional extra beverage pairing, which will be carefully selected from Pescador’s lengthy collection of wines and spirits — including one of the best mezcal lineups in the city.

If you can’t make it this month, keep your eye on their Instagram for updates on the Ceviche Bar Takeover Series. Each month chefs Dan Bazzinotti and Keith Pooler invite a local chef to take a turn at the 18-seat ceviche bar, and you won’t want to miss one.
