Sunday Supper Benefit at Osteria Nino

On September 27, Osteria Nino will host its first “Sunday Supper” event to benefit the National MS Society’s Greater New England Chapter (Waltham, MA) whose mission is to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS. At this family-style dinner enveloped in warm Italian hospitality, Osteria Nino has enlisted help from their friends at The Farm School (Athol, MA), a nonprofit organization and working farm that trains and educates people about the farm industry. One of Osteria Nino’s favorite farms in New England, the Farm School specializes in certified organic vegetables, 100% grass-fed beef, pastured pork and more.

The Farm School will provide farm-fresh products and Osteria Nino’s executive chef, Walace Benica, will prepare a true farm-to-fork menu celebrating the best tastes of the local bounty, which will be paired with Italian wines and local beers. The four-course menu will be served family-style and presented as follows:
