Save the Date: Wild Game Dinner

There are just a few days left till Thanksgiving. Hard to believe, right?

Chances are that you are going to eat way too much on Thursday. However, instead of going right into diet mode on Friday, we suggest that you use Thanksgiving as a warm-up to a decadent Wild Game Dinner at Aperitivo (next Wednesday). Interested? Here's what's on the menu:
