This event celebrates the passion ignited by Italian fare. Sample traditional to nouveau Italian dishes that look just as sexy as they taste. As you savor, strike up a conversation with a fellow taster alongside the colorful fish at the New England Aquarium.

The event features over 45 restaurants, bakeries and distributors. This year's Taste will benefit local schools and recreation centers. The doors open at 7:30 p.m.
