As part of its themed culinary evenings during the season, Restaurant 44 plans to feature a special three-course Viva Italia menu from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Jan. 28.
Live music will be provided by DJ Mickey Dee.
The Italian menu is by executive chef Philip Kroesen and his team at the restaurant at the Palm Beach Towers condominium, 44 Cocoanut Row.
It offers a choice of appetizers and main courses, followed by dessert from pastry chef Priscilla Munoz.
Appetizer options include prosciutto-and-melon salad, wild mushroom-and-Fontina cheese risotto, and braised veal-and-pork meatball with tomato sauce.
For the main course, guests can choose crispy pan-seared branzino, grilled jumbo-shrimp scampi, stuffed and roasted porchetta, or lamb osso buco.
