Bundle up for La Cottora at Le Virtu
On Sunday, January 20th chef Joe Cicala will be hosting his annual La Cottora, an outdoor winter festival at Le Virtu's (1927 E. Passyunk Ave.) garden. This year he's got Stateside's George Sabatino and South Philly Taproom/American Sardine Bar chef Scott Schroeder on board cooking up a good looking winter menu. Cicala is offering up porchetta paninis, house-made sausage and the Abruzzese cold weather classic sagne e fasciul', a pasta and bean dish. Sabatino is going to grilling lamb shanks and piling spicy tripe on Sarcone's rolls and Schroeder is doing an olive oil-dressed tuna crudo with broccoli rabe and poached potatoes.
The party kicks off at 5 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m., tickets are going for $70 a person and include all sorts of winter warmers like spiced wine and Abruzzese punch.
