Sunday, June 14th, 12-8(ish)pm:
Our Summer 2026 Panarda!
After two consecutive years of embedding in Villavallelonga's Festa di Sant'Antonio and Panarda (the oldest and most felt in Abruzzo), we're ready to take our own "bastard" version to a new level of culinary intensity and communal meaning.
While our Panarda isn't sacred or tied to a religious event, our commitment to honor Villavallelonga is real. Join us for 40+ dishes, 10 wines, housemade digestivi, in a celebration of conviviality. We intend to dive deep into Abruzzese culinary tradition, and explore Chef Andrew Wood's "fantasia."
Reservations here!
