February’s Sunday Feast at Tavolàta will explore Lombardy, the northern region of Italy that borders on Switzerland. Chef Addam will be serving many of the region’s signature dishes for the February 8th meal, like tortelli de zucca, squash ravioli, and vitello cotoletta, a bone-in veal chop pounded and fried.

There are a variety of geographies within Lombardy, from the Alps in the north to the rivers and plains of the south, making way for a range of traditional dishes. Rice grows well there, providing the base for the classic risotto Milanese with saffron, and cattle graze in the fertile farmlands, providing for many preparations of veal as well as Gorgonzola cheese. Join Tavolàta for this hearty winter feast featuring warming pastas and braised meats.
