Local Artisan Cheese Dinner
We held our first dinner featuring Wisconsin Artisan cheese paired with selected wines. As we tasted each cheese, we shared information about the cheeses, cheese makers, and wines. We were fortunate enough to have one of our wine purveyors present so he shared some extra knowledge about the wines, which was great! The cheese was followed by a dinner of locally grown salad, wood-fired pizzas and delectable dessert with each course showcasing different local cheeses and paired with wine and beer. The night was a great success and we had a great time. I will be posting a few pictures later in the week!

Anniversary Party

Saturday, June 28, 2008 was our one year anniversary! Doesn't it seem like only yesterday? We have reached that one year milestone and shared our gratitude and joy with all our friends, neighbors and supporters. We had a complementary pig roast to share our momentous occasion. Here is a picture of the spread Craig and Mike created after roasting a pig.

We would love to host your party or event. Call Craig at 708-358-8555 for more information. You can also email him at craig@trattoria225.com
