On Thursday, Dec. 21, Gran Caffe L'Aquila is serving an authentic Feast of the Seven Fishes at 11 a.m.
Hopefully you have a few vacations days left this year, or else let your boss know you'll be taking a long, leisurely lunch.
The meal starts with chilled shrimp, scallops, seppie and mussels over greens, served with a glass of prosecco. The second course is fried calamari and baccala, paired with pinot grigio.
For the main, 97.5 The Fanatic host Anthony Gargano shared his mother's recipe for spaghetti and crabs. To drink, a wine from the Chianti region of Italy will be poured.
While dining, guests can watch champion gelato-maker Stefano Biasini create the sweet treat that will later be served for dessert.
