For our Happy Hour menu, we’re basing it on a tradition called “ombra” which means shadow in Italian.  In Venice, as the sun sets, the people gather in the shadow of the Campanile di San Marco (Tower of St. Mark’s) in the Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square) and follow it around, going from caffé to bar, drinking and enjoying “bar food.” 
Chef Steve has created a traditional bar menu for Happy Hour Week and is pairing it with some amazing prosecco cocktails (normally $11) culled from our “18a” bar program.
