New Year’s Eve, the Italian Way 🇮🇹✨
In Italy, New Year’s Eve is called La Notte di San Silvestro; it’s a ritual of food, luck, and intention.
Families gather for Il Cenone di Capodanno, a long, meaningful feast meant to welcome prosperity and abundance into the new year.
🍽️ Lentils are served because they resemble coins — the more you eat, the more wealth you invite.
🥩 Pork and sausage symbolize progress and moving forward.
🥬 Braised greens and cabbage represent longevity and good health.
🥂 At midnight, Prosecco is poured, bells ring, fireworks light the sky, and the old year is sent off with joy and noise.
👙 And yes — many Italians even wear red underwear for love and good fortune in the year ahead.
We love these traditions so much that we built our New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day menu around them.
✨ Grazing trays made for gathering and abundance
✨ Prime steaks and filet for celebration and prosperity
✨ Caviar for a little luxury at midnight
✨ New Year’s Day classics like house-smoked corned beef, braised cabbage, kielbasa & sauerkraut, pierogies, twice-baked potatoes, and stewed black-eyed peas — all foods rooted in comfort, luck, and tradition
Food has meaning. Food tells a story.
And there’s no better way to welcome the new year than around a table with the people you love.
