Next week, I'd suggest getting in on the Tuesday happy hour special at Il Ritorno: half-off pasta from 5 to 7 p.m.
If you're not about to down a five-course tasting menu paired with classic cocktails during the modern Italian haven's Spirit Series, that is.
You could still do both, I suppose. But you might wanna save room for the main event from chef-owner David Benstock, who's known for working new flavors into traditionally rustic-style cooking — especially since this upcoming dinner marks the end of the boozy, once-a-month program made possible by Il Ritorno's liquor license.
