Really need a drink and some gratis snacks after work? SRV can be your South End savior. Their Cicchetti Takeover Series returns on Wednesday, March 7th with a visit from Justin Shoults, the Executive Chef at Oak + Rowan. He’ll join SRV co-chefs Michael Lombardi and Kevin O’Donnell in the bar and bacaro area from 5:30-7:30pm (sorry folks, this special isn’t available in the main dining room). The Venetian-style small bites are complimentary, so use your drinking money for an Italian-inspired cocktail, amaro or a glass of wine. Can’t make it in March? Chef Will Gilson of Puritan & Company will be taking over on Wednesday, April 4th, and chef Colin Lynch from Bar Mezzana has the Wednesday, May 2nd slot.
