Greenville to Host Italian-Themed Dining Experience Inspired by ‘Big Night’ and Magical Pop-Up Event Celebrating ‘Harry Potter’

Get Ready for a Night of Italian Delights in Greenville!

Hey there, Greenville! If you’ve got a taste for authentic Italian cuisine and a love for classic cinema, then mark your calendars for an extraordinary evening that combines the best of both worlds. On November 9th, this charming city will host a unique dining event at M. Judson Books, where food lovers can indulge in a meal inspired by the 1996 film Big Night.

A Culinary Adventure Inspired by Cinema

For those who might not be familiar, Big Night stars the talented Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci, portraying two Italian brothers working hard to open their dream restaurant on the Jersey Shore in the 1950s. Faced with a dwindling customer base, the brothers host a feast to draw in guests, serving up wave after wave of traditional Italian dishes. And guess what? You’re invited to experience something remarkably similar at this delightful event!

The star of the culinary showcase is none other than Chris Barest from Naked Pasta, who will whip up some mouthwatering dishes like tortellini en brodo and the magnificent timpano—a breathtaking baked pasta dish shaped like a drum and filled to the brim with meatballs, eggs, cheese, and salami. Talk about a feast fit for a king!

More Culinary Treats Await

But that’s not all, folks! Chef Teryi Youngblood from Camilla Kitchen will be showcasing her talents by preparing a scrumptious porchetta, alongside an array of contorni and dolci to satisfy your sweet tooth. To elevate the dining experience, all dishes will be perfectly paired with Italian wines from Mission Grape. Just imagine the flavors dancing on your palate!
