On Sunday, October 19th
2003,
Terramia
Ristorante and Antico Forno held a
celebration for their 10th and 7th year anniversaries, respectively,
at Antico Forno, 93 Salem Street in the North End. This Celebration
was a characteristic Italian feast called a "sagra" in the tradition
of Executive Chef Giusseppe Tinnirello's home town of Frattamaggiore,
Naples.
The "sagra" is a community festival for
the people that features particular foods native to the region or
village preparing the "sagra" . Terramia and Antico Forno liked to
bring Bostonians a step closer to real Italian life with food prepared
in the authentic ways that make it so characteristic, so unique.
This Anniversary Celebration featured the
Italian favorite "porchetta" ( slow roasted suckling pig ), served
with rosemary focaccia and other Naples specialties, like oven roasted
vegetables and fresh peaches al vino. Chef Tinnirello prepared his
now-famous gnocchi with a fresh plum tomato basil sauce. The doors
opened at 2:00 pm and for $35 per person, Boston diners were able to
participate in a real Italian experience complete with live
traditional music. Also, on hand was Chef de Cuisine, Salvatore Gaglio,
whotook breaks from the kitchen to play his trumpet. 15% of the
proceeds was donated to The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDRF).
