Food stations will feature basil pesto arancini with arabiatta, caprese skewers with balsamic reduction, kafta meatballs with marinara, baked zita and fresh pizzas from the on-site pizza oven.
Each ticket also includes two (2) drink tickets, good for a beer, wine or seltzer. A full cash bar is available with specialty cocktails, spirits and featured drinks
