Italian Coastal Wine Dinner

August 27th, 2025 - 6:30 pm

$150 Tasting Menu & Wine Pairing

(tax and gratuity not included)

From Chef-Owner Vittorio Ettore and the Bistro 5 Team

When I travel to Italy, I dream, I eat, and then I dream again. And like so many others, I find myself asking: Why is it so good? Is it the skill? The sun? The bounty of the land and sea? Perhaps it is something deeper — a collective connection between people and their environment, expressed through food and wine.

With that in mind, our fish is sourced as locally as possible, and our produce comes from the beautiful Kimball Fruit Farm in Pepperell, MA.

This dinner is also a true collaboration, created together with our friends at
Wine-Sense of Andover and Mucci Wine Imports.

Can we create a collective, dreamy experience of the Italian coast?

Well, you’ll just have to come and find out :)
