Sicilian Mattanza Dinner At Incanto

Mon Jul 07, 2008 at 09:32:24 AM

It's a four-course dinner with bluefin tuna as the guest of honor. The idea is to celebrate the ancient, communal tuna hunting ritual known as La Mattanza, which goes back to the Romans and is still practiced today by Sicilian fisherman. Sadly, the global demand for sushi-grade tuna is quickly pushing La Mattanza the way of the dodo, as 60 Minutes reported last year (check a clip of the story here). So make haste tuna lovers. Dinner runs $65 per person. For reservations call 641-4500.
