The Michelin-recommended Carlino will be open daily (including Christmas Eve and Day) for breakfast, brunch, aperitivo hour, and dinner, with a special Christmas brunch menu featuring a stunning seafood tower and turkey for two, and a Christmas Eve and Day dinner menu with tantalizing fare like Pacific Octopus Carpaccio, Cjarson di Patate (ricotta-stuffed pasta with wine poached grapes), and classic Tiramisu. Giovane’s cozy caffè will be open December 24 to 26 and January 1 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
 
Panettone
These sweet, fruit-studded, golden loaves of holiday bread are a cherished part of an Italian Christmas, and Di Beppe and Giovane Caffè will once again exclusively feature stunning handmade loaves from Vancouver’s Antise bakery. Acclaimed pastry chef Emiddio Isernia has perfected his take on the treat, made with high-quality local ingredients in a yeasted dough that goes through a 30-hour proofing. The result is a glorious tribute to Italian craftsmanship and tradition. Pre-order panettone while supplies last for pick-up or enjoy by the slice ($6.50/ea) from Di Beppe and both Giovane Caffè locations starting November 28. Panettone flavours for 2022 are as follows: 

• Cioccolato – milk chocolate ($46)
• Limoncello – lemon zest, limoncello-infused white chocolate ganache ($48)
• Classico – candied orange, Cedro and raisins ($45)

 Holiday Cocktails Bring Good Cheer
Bring on the festive cheer with seasonal cocktails. Through November and December at Carlino, toast the season with their Pear Pressure. This spiced sipper features rye whiskey, Jamaican rum, oxidized blueberry leaves, and pear-cooked sous vide with aromatic cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise. At Bacaro this December, the San Gimignano – named for the hilly Tuscany town – beautifully balances the bitter and sweet of the last days of the year with Italian brandy, Vermouth Rosso, Rittenhouse Straight Rye, and Amaro Averna. And all December long raise your glasses in Gastown with Pourhouse’s take on two holiday cocktail essentials, Mulled Wine and Egg Nog, made with port barrel-finished Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
