In 1989, Christianne & Francesco Ricchi came to Washington, DC to introduce the authentic Italian cuisine they served in their iconic country trattoria outside of Florence. Thirty years have passed, and Chris & Francesco are reuniting once more to create a six-course, Tuscan extravaganza to celebrate this milestone. Join them for a communal feast of Ricchi family favorites of “cucina rustica” – rustic Italian country cooking. Come and share your stories of special moments enjoyed at i Ricchi’s table, and toast to “Trent’Anni” – 30 Years!
