We love the looks of the Autunno alle Brace menu
We've got the menu for the fall BBQ coming up on the 29th, and we think it's safe to say they nailed it.
We love the looks of the Autunno alle Brace menu
Last week, we told you about fall's don't-sleep backyard BBQ at Le Virtù (1927 E. Passyunk Ave.) on October 29. But details were sparse at that time, and you may have been wondering: what pairs best with hoodies and fire pits? Well, now we have the menu in hand, and the answer is at once obvious and enthralling: a bounty of shellfish in brodo, a quintessential fall risotto, whole grilled fish and bone marrow sausages, olive oil cake with a bit of char from the grill, getting cozy with roasted apples and pears. Sounds like a perfect cool-weather feast to us.
The party starts at 7 p.m. on the 29th, and tickets ($90 a pop; wine and beer included) go on sale this Friday. Here's the full spread:
