Figulina’s Abruzzo Wine Dinner

Raleigh’s Figulina is offering a special Abruzzo wine dinner at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 19. This dinner is inspired by the rugged beauty and deep culinary traditions of Abruzzo, nestled between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic coast. It’s a region known for bold, rustic cooking and expressive wines. The evening will start with a mini-cocktail hour and light bite on the patio followed by a seated dinner featuring Figulina’s take on traditional dishes like:
Crostini alla chietina (egg-fried toast with anchovy and caper)
Scrippelle in brodo (pecorino-stuffed crepes in warm chicken broth)
Spaghetti alla chitarra con pallottine (square-cut pasta with tiny meatballs)
Brodetto (layered coastal fish stew)
Pizza Dolce Abruzzese (festive sponge, custard, and jam layer cake)

Each course will be paired with wines from Abruzzo. The price is $160 (before tax and gratuity). Earlier this year, Figulina was a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation. Make a reservation at https://figulinaraleigh.com/reservations
