DaVinci’s Insider

ith Spring and warmer weather right around the corner, things are heating up here at DaVinci’s. We have bid “arrivederci” to Lobster Scampi and Pork Osso Bucco and added Lobster Ravioli, Steak Marsala and a Center Cut New York Sirloin, which has two compound butters available as add-ons. We have also added a Flourless Chocolate Torte to our dessert menu. It’s gluten-free and, at only five dollars, it is a great way to end any meal.
What They Say Fantastic pizza & garlic knots. Best restaurant north of Boston.

Insider, continued from front As you can see from our “What’s on Tap” section we have a lot of fun events going on the next two months, including our first-ever “Paint Nite” event. This event is almost sold out so we will be adding additional nights in April & May. Check out their website for additional information. Mark your calendars now for our Wine Dinner on Thursday, April 10. We will be pairing delicious food with fantastic Italian wines to create an event that you won’t want to miss. If wine isn’t your thing, we’re working on putting together other “themed” dinners featuring Scotch and Beer, respectively. More Flight Nights are also in the works so be sure to watch our social media sites and website for additional information. That’s all for now. Here’s hoping Spring makes a hasty return...after IceFest, of course. Cory, a.k.a. “Marketing Guy” Everyone’s Favorite...Newsletter
