Pellegrini Dining Society Dinners

Come celebrate the life and culinary mind of Angelo Pellegrini with these specialty dinners at Café Lago! Beginning January 21st, Chef David Crutcher will set a menu the third Monday of each month with their Pellegrini Society Dinners – inspired by seasonal ingredients and local wine.
