Sportello’s yearlong culinary tour of Italy continues this month with Chef Barbara’s Sicilian Feast on Tuesday, August 22nd. With its warm climate and volcanic soil, the Italian island is the perfect locale for a late summer tribute. Book a table any time during regular dinner hours (5:00-10:00pm) for the four-course, family-style meal showcasing Sicily’s bold flavorful dishes, shaped by the crops that thrive in the Mediterranean climate as well as outside influences (Greek, Spanish, Arab, North African, and French). The menu, available below in its tentative entirety, costs $85 per person with an optional $55 wine pairing. For more information or to make a reservation, call 617.737.1234.
