Dining Al Fresco this Fall

with a Garden Opera Performance



Tavola Fresca Dining series is  broadening the outdoor dining experience by now pairing fine Italian cuisine with the sounds of Italian opera being sung by Meredith Cain-Nielson.  The  Tavola Lirica dining series celebrates the cuisine and operatic tradition of Venezia through a five course menu inspired from the gardens, farms and waters that surround us.  The evening lyrically framed by classic selections from the Venetian opera canton, all set amidst the beautiful master stone work of Terra Vista  Landscaping.  Join individually or with a group.
