Think of it as a mini Italian festival.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the porchetta being served up from Romano’s in Amherstburg. Porchetta is a traditional Italian dish that consists of roasted pork seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and fennel. It’s an iconic dish that has been enjoyed in Rome for centuries and we’ll be serving it up. Mezzo Restaurant & Lounge will also be serving up some Arancini on site, and Gennaro’s Cafe will be slinging their incredible gelato.

Of course, no Italian celebration is complete without cocktails, and the classic and modern Italian cocktails inspired by the eternal city will be flowing all night long. From the classic Negroni to modern twists on Italian classics, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

But perhaps the most fun part of the evening is the opportunity to dress up in a toga and really get into the spirit of the celebration. Guests are encouraged to embrace their inner gladiator or goddess and wear their be st toga to the event. It’s a fun way to really get into the spirit of the celebration and feel like you’re part of ancient Rome.

Overall, the 2776th birthday of Rome celebration promises to be a blast with live entertainment, delicious food, and classic Italian cocktails.
