Ring In The New Year With An Italian Twist

Ring in 2008 at Urbana Restaurant and Wine Bar with a special New Year’s Eve à la carte menu. Paying homage to his Italian roots, Executive Chef Claudio Urciuoli’s menu includes selections such as Castelluccio Lentils with Merguez Sausage and Fettunta priced at $8. Lentils, a traditional Italian symbol of good luck on New Year’s Eve, are paired with lamb sausage and rustic Italian bread that is grilled and served with the first press of Trevi olive oil. For dessert, guests can enjoy Panettone, a traditional Italian sweet bread enjoyed during the holidays, infused with Strega Liqueur and layered with Gianduia Chocolate Cream, a mixture of chocolate and hazelnuts, for $10. In addition to this special menu, the regular menu will also be available. The full New Year’s Eve menu is below.
