Our very own Executive Chef Logan Riese will be highlighting beef, with a starter of thinly sliced Carpaccio and a main course of Tenderloin. From Bar Corallini in the Atwood neighborhood, Italian Chef Giovanni Novella will be making by hand a double ravioli—stuffed with cheese, nduja sausage, and more. And from Everly on Monroe Street, Executive Chef Diego Guzmán will be preparing arancini appetizers filled with a medley of seafood.
