Il Ritorno's Feast of the 7 Fishes dinner

David Benstock, executive chef and owner of St. Pete restaurant IL Ritorno, produces multiple tasting menus and specialty dinners throughout the year, and this 2023 finale is a modern take on the historic Italian tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Each of the seven dishes will be served family-style–like you’re at dinner with your cousins—and you can always add a wine pairing for an additional price. While IL Ritorno hasn’t released its complete Christmas Eve menu just yet, its PR team says there will be “caviar, both raw and cooked oysters, branzino, clam pasta, scallop risotto, dungeness crab spaghetti and black grouper” featured throughout its seven courses. Reservations for the $215 prix fixe dinner run from 5 p.m.-11 p.m. and can be made on the restaurant’s Tock page.
