A taste of beachfront Italy this week at the Herdic House… Blue Plate Special: Wednesday, August 19
Join us for a home-run Blue Plate on the patio on in the dining room tonight, and have a front row seat as the Little League Parade strolls by our doorstep! We’ll be grilling burgers on the charcoal grill out back, and we’ll also have Cow-A-Hen Farm’s all beef hotdogs, for kids young and old… Blue Plate: Charcoal-grilled Misty Mountain Farm cheeseburger, with roasted sweet peppers, basil aioli, and herb-bacon potato salad…
Ferragosto Patio Menu: Friday, August 21
As the American summer vacation winds to a close, we bring you a menu from the other side of the pond—inspired by the Italian tradition of Ferragosto, the vacation that lasts the month of August and sends Italians scurrying for beaches around Europe, to escape the heat and dirt of the cities. Come out to the patio on Friday night, lounge under our Venetian lanterns, and enjoy dishes direct from the Sicilian beachfront. Your Speedo is optional…
- Fresh white peach bellini
- Steamed mussels with sweet pepper, white beans and parsley
- Albacore tuna carpaccio, with capers, arugula, lemon and mustard sauce
- Cioppino: Italian seafood stew with shrimp, scallops, clams, cod and saffron
- Vanilla panna cotta with local plum gelee and raspberries from Liz’s garden

Join us for a lively night of conversation and reminiscing, and, of course, a women’s lib themed menu!
