Di Beppe celebrates Polenta Fest with—you guessed it—polenta aplenty.
It is almost impossible to describe polenta in an appealing way: “corn goop” may be technically accurate, but the words don’t truly capture the textural, comfort-food magic of Italian grits done right. And oh, Di Beppe does it right, and on repeat, with their new one-night-only Polenta Festival menu.
The humble Venetian staple will be served up a multitude of ways for the multi-course, family-style feast (aperitifs and wine included) happening Sunday, April 28: baked into bite-sized cakes and topped with tender baccalà, transformed into dessert, or drizzled out onto six-foot wooden planks to firm up and then doled out in slices alongside veal and rapini.
It’s a night out that likely won’t get us any closer to finding an elegant way to describe polenta…but it’s a pretty delicious way to try.
