Happy Easter Long Weekend from our table to yours!
It's that time of year once again. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and springtime is just around the corner! Of course, with this time of year, also comes the celebration of the Easter holiday.
Here at La Piazza Dario we are looking forward to a restful long weekend filled with lots of family time and traditional Italian Easter dishes. As mentioned in years previous, Easter, or Pasqua in Italian, is celebrated in Italy with a variety of delectable dishes, which usually include lamb or goat, artichokes and different kinds of bread. Although the breads, in particular, may vary depending on where you are in Italy, many are decorated with Easter eggs, while others, such as the sweet dessert bread colomba di Pasqua, meaning Easter dove, is often made into the shape of - you guessed it! - a dove!

Happy Easter Monday! Buona Pasquetta!
On Saturday we wished you a Buona Pasqua! Or, Happy Easter, in English. And so, today we thought it only appropriate to wish a you a Buona Pasquetta! Literally translated it means "Little Easter," which is a nationally recognized holiday in Italy, also known as Angel's Monday, or Lundi dell'Angelo, that always falls on the Monday after Easter.
Traditionally in Italy, meals on Pasquetta are eaten as a picnic with family and friends. However, more and more people are choosing to spend this holiday at a favourite restaurant or friend's house. Which is why we would like to invite you to come celebrate Little Easter with some great company and delicious Italian food at La Piazza Dario.
We hope you've had a chance to work up an appetite over this beautiful Long Weekend in Vancouver! We look forward to seeing you.
