An Italian Summer Night with Boston’s Best Chefs

On June 6, Terra’s Executive Chef Dan Bazzinotti invites some of Boston’s best chefs to take over the restaurant’s roaring wood-fired grill as they bring their talents to Eataly’s beloved urban oasis.

Join Chef-Partner Tony Messina of Uni, Chef-Owner Cassie Piuma of Sarma, Executive Chef Sam De Los Santos of Eataly Boston, Chef-Owner David Punch of Sycamore, Boston Magazine Food Editor Scott Kearnan (the MC for the evening), and Media Sponsor Boston magazine for a perfect night of good food, seasonal drinks, and lively music.

With the presentation of every dish, each chef will explain the concept behind what they prepared and then mingle with party-goers. Throughout the evening, a live DJ will spin upbeat tunes before the dance floor opens up and adds the final touch to a lively night!

Don’t miss their grand summer party celebrating some of Boston’s finest culinary masterminds! Eataly is proud to partner with No Kid Hungry, an organization working to end child hunger in America, during this exciting evening. Their cash bar will feature a special No Kid Hungry-dedicated drink, and $1 from each one sold along with $1 from every ticket sale will go to the non-profit.

With an elevated straight track constructed along Boylston Street between Exeter and Clarendon Streets, the world’s fastest men and women will sprint down to Copley Square, wowing fans and breaking records as the viewing public watches from only feet away from the track.

Terra Wine Dinner: Trip to Toscana with Guest Chef Cesare Casella
Jan 30 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

This winter, escape Boston’s frigid temperatures for a lively evening by Terra’s warm wood-fired grill.

This winter, escape Boston’s frigid temperatures for a lively evening by Terra’s warm wood-fired grill as you indulge in rustic food and Tuscan wine pairings! On January 30, award-winning Chef Dan Bazzinotti invites restaurateur and salumi producer Chef Cesare Casella to take over the Terra grill.

The five-course menu will revolve around seasonal ingredients and pork used from a whole pig raised at Chickering Farm – a demonstration of the versatility of this rich meat and the beauty of utilizing an entire animal. Guests will enjoy smoke-kissed plates (like house-made sausage and tableside prosciutti carvings by both chefs to start the meal) designed by Chef Bazzinotti and Chef Casella – a partnership made all the more special due to the duo’s personal connection and love for salumi.

Stay tuned for the full menu!

At this dinner, you will:

  • Indulge in five courses of Tuscan-inspired, pork-centric dishes brought to you by award-winning chefs
  • Learn about the importance of using whole parts of food
  • Enjoy Tuscan wine paring with each course
  • Experience the magical ambiance of our rooftop restaurant, Terra
