About this Event
Please join Bay Area Culinary Historians, Sunday, June 28th at 6:00p.m., for a once-in-a-lifetime evening honoring one of America’s oldest restaurants and a treasured part of San Francisco’s history, Fior d’Italia. Experience a recreation of an 1886 menu, and enjoy a special presentation from Francine Brevetti, the granddaughter of one of Fior’s founders and author of The Fabulous Fior. Ms. Brevetti will share stories of urban history, culinary tradition, and special personal memories. As you enjoy a six-course meal drawn from the restaurant's historic archives, you’ll trace the story of how Fior d'Italia rose as a beacon of immigrant resilience and cultural continuity, all the while reflecting the ever-changing soul of North Beach and American dining.
Please note: To stay true to the integrity of the time period and the historical recreation, the menu will be served as stated, with no substitutions. We apologize that it is not appropriate for vegetarians or those on restricted diets. Guests will enjoy:
- Assaggino del giorno
- Calamari Milleottecentottantasei
- Salada mista
- Tortellini Bolognese
- Scaloppine di vitello con patate arrosto e verdure (di stagione)
- Zabaglione
- A welcoming glass of wine, with our compliments
Tickets are limited! The cost per person, including tax and gratuity is $140 per person, plus Eventbrite fees. If the event is sold out, we recommend putting yourself on the waitlist - we will attempt to accommodate people if possible.
