Check out my Top 10 (really 11) restaurant ‘inflation busting” dining specials for every night of the week. You can go out to eat and eat well, cost effectively. Here is my list, if you know of other restaurant specials worthy of being up here, please share with all of us and post the restaurant and their special.
A number of these restaurants run additional specials during the week so do check out each of their websites.
Cinghiale will host Sunday evening suppers featuring a 3-course menu that will change weekly. There is only one seating time and one menu.
Cinghiale will open at 5:30 pm with a variety of antipasti presented at 6:00 pm. At 6:30, pasta will be served and a dessert or cheese course will follow.
The supper is casual and social. Come alone, or with your family and friends.
$10 on selected entrees from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Starting in June they will have Lobster Night on Wednesdays – pricing hasn’t been determined as yet but I bet it is a great deal well under $20. Stay in touch with them at Mother’s
When you call Pierpoint Restaurant for a reservation mention you want the ‘19th anniversary promotion’ which is 19% off your dinner bill. Now remember, you need to mention it at the time of your reservation. Chef Longo wants to help offset your gas or BG & E bill. The promotion has been extended to the end of September.
Restaurateurs, if I missed mentioning your restaurant specials, I apologize, please email me the details and I will do post an additional list – send to diningdish@hotmail.com.
