Spiga Ristorante introduces Big Night Sundays with a special event in honor of International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8.

Each week beginning on Sunday, March 8, Big Night Sundays features a different Sunday dinner with several courses crafted by Chef Marisa Iocco. The meals evoke the values of a traditional family Sunday dinner. The first one is on Sunday, March 8 for its kick-off event and includes appetizers, Timpano alla Big Night (the film), contorni (side dishes) and dessert. The Timpano is Chef Iocco’s interpretation of the famous dish and features a drum of pasta filled with handmade gnocchi, Bolognese sauce, mozzarella, Parmigiano, hard-boiled eggs and peas—a labor of love. Also during the event, Chef Marisa Iocco reads from her memoir/cookbook and introduces her new business partner and longtime friend, Francesco Iacovitti, as they celebrate the new Sunday tradition at Spiga.

Reservations for the first Big Night Sunday event are $65 and each person also receives a signed copy of Chef Iocco’s memoir/cookbook, Every Menu Is a Love Story, as well as wine and the mouthwatering, authentic meal.
