Benny’s Presents: The Feast of the Seven Fishes

Celebrate one of Italy’s most treasured Christmas Eve traditions — La Festa dei Sette Pesci, the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

Join us for a six-course seafood dinner prepared with Benny’s signature Southern-Italian touch, each course expertly paired with Italian wines hand-selected by Vincenzo of Impero Wines.

This is an evening meant to be savored — great food, exceptional wine, and the warmth of friends gathered around the table for the holidays.
