Christmas is a time of tradition, togetherness, and, of course, incredible food. For Italians, the holiday season revolves around cherished dishes that have been passed down for generations, filling homes with irresistible aromas and the joy of sharing meals with loved ones. At Da Vinci Waltham, we honor these time-tested traditions by bringing the flavors of Italy to your table with a modern twist, offering a dining experience that feels like home.
The Feast of the Seven Fishes
One hallmark of an Italian Christmas is the Feast of the Seven Fishes, celebrated on Christmas Eve. This seafood-centered meal features dishes like baccalà (salt cod), calamari, and linguine with clams, symbolizing abundance and family unity. At Da Vinci Waltham, our chefs take inspiration from this beloved tradition, crafting seafood dishes that transport you to coastal Italy.
Christmas Day Pasta Favorites
On Christmas Day, pasta takes center stage with hearty, comforting recipes like lasagna al forno layered with rich meats and cheeses or ravioli filled with creamy ricotta and fresh spinach. These dishes, often paired with freshly baked bread and a robust glass of red wine, create a meal that’s both satisfying and steeped in tradition. Rich sauces, handmade pasta, and the highest quality ingredients ensure every bite is unforgettable. If you’re looking to savor a classic Italian Christmas meal without spending hours in the kitchen, Da Vinci Waltham is the perfect destination. Our menu offers a variety of Italian staples prepared with a creative flair, allowing you to enjoy the warmth and joy of the season with a meal as memorable as the occasion.
Traditional Italian Desserts
No Italian Christmas meal would be complete without desserts. Panettone, a sweet bread filled with raisins and candied fruits, and struffoli, golden honey-drenched dough balls, are crowd favorites. At Da Vinci Waltham, we celebrate the sweet side of the season with our homemade desserts, ensuring every meal ends on a high note.
