In-Person dinner celebrating the 140th Anniversary of America’s Oldest Italian Restaurant, San Francisco’s own Fior d’Italia with presentation by Francine Brevetti.

Please join Bay Area Culinary Historians, Sunday, June 28th at 6:00p.m., for a once-in-a-lifetime evening honoring one of America’s oldest restaurants and a treasured part of San Francisco’s history, Fior d’Italia. Experience a recreation of an 1886 menu, and enjoy a special presentation from Francine Brevetti, the granddaughter of one of Fior’s founders and author of The Fabulous Fior. Ms. Brevetti will share stories of urban history, culinary tradition, and special personal memories. As you enjoy a six-course meal drawn from the restaurant's historic archives, you’ll trace the story of how Fior d'Italia rose as a beacon of immigrant resilience and cultural continuity, all the while reflecting the ever-changing soul of North Beach and American dining.
