Big Italian Family Dinner!
Here is the menu my sisters and I have worked out for our Casolaro Sisters Family Reunion Weekend being held at my home!
Friday: This will be very casual as different people will be arriving at different times. I am making a huge bowl of Pasta Aglia Olio, some Italian Bread, and salad.
Saturday: This will be our sit down dinner in the evening. We are having this meal in courses:
Primo: Antipasto consisting of an assortment of cheeses, meats, olives, and preserved vegetables and with this we will also have a big green salad with a simple vinaigrette.
Secondo: Neapolitan Meatballs, Gnocchi, and Italian Bread.
Dolci: Nona Cornacchio's Biscotti, Cannoli, and Espresso
Digestivo: Limoncello & Amaretto
Wine: Bolla Valpolicella
Other Beverages: San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water
Sunday: This will be on 4th of July so we will be having a casual barbecue Italian/American Style!
Sausage & Peppers on Hoagie Buns, Pesto Macaroni Salad, and for dessert Chocolate Nutella 4 layer cake with ice-cream! And for our drinks I found San Pellegrino Italian Sodas at Costco!

Aww! It looks like you guys had a great time!!! The food looks delicious of course :)
looks like you had a wonderful time...those cannoli's look great, and that's some serious crema in that espresso!
That doesn't look at any (distant past) family reunion I ever attended. I'm jealous! (unless jealous means I wish that reunion was mine instead of yours, in which case I'm just wishing my family was as cool as yours. *smiles*)
