Feast of Seven Fishes

Thursday, December 24th; 5 - 10pm

The Feast of Seven Fishes, celebrated around the world on Christmas Eve, is known as La Vigilia, Italian for “The Vigil” in wait of the midnight Christmas birth. A Southern Italian tradition, the menu consists of fish and pasta with a fasting from meat for the Roman Catholic holiday. The numerology represents the seven sacraments and seven days of creation. Chef Moscatello offers his interpretation of this celebrated meal, putting history and tradition together on one table with his favorite seven fishes.
