Gather around the table

Events

The North End is the venue. Food and stories are the entertainment.

What we host

Built around your occasion

pasta with wine

Corporate outings

Team days, offsites and client entertainment that beat another restaurant dinner. Walking, tasting and talking — the easiest icebreaker there is.

Cannoli with fresh ricotta cream

Celebrations

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and bachelorette weekends — ending, of course, with the best cannoli in the neighborhood.

Caprese plated for a group dinner

Group gatherings

Reunions, clubs, conference groups and visiting delegations — scaled and paced for larger parties without losing the personal touch.

Why it works

An event people actually remember

No slideshows, no name tags. Your group moves together through four blocks of the most storied neighborhood in Boston, eating a full progressive Italian lunch as the history unfolds around them.

Every event is hosted personally by Paula Taylor, with the pace, tastings and stories adjusted to your crowd — wine-forward, history-deep, or dessert-heavy.
