Italy will officially arrive at The Local starting Tuesday, May 26th!

Memorial Day weekend will be wrapped up, the routines will be kicking back in… and honestly, there’s no better excuse to skip cooking and treat yourself to a trip across Italy without ever leaving Watertown.

For a LIMITED TIME ONLY, we’re serving up an authentic chef-driven Italian feature menu inspired by the flavors of Florence, Sicily, Tuscany, and the Italian coastline. Think decadent pastas, Chicken Marsala, Sicilian Swordfish, Shrimp Puttanesca, White Lasagna, scratch-made starters, fresh herbs, rich sauces, and desserts that belong in an Italian café.

Several dishes also feature premium Olivelle balsamics & infused oils courtesy of our friends at Curated downtown — bringing even more authentic Italian flavor to the experience.

Trust us… you’ll want to get in EARLY this week.

Some of these dishes are produced in limited quantities and once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’re planning to try the menu, don’t wait until the weekend rush.

The Local is turning Watertown into little Italy…
one plate at a time.

Italy is coming to The Local!

For a limited time, we’re bringing the flavors of Florence, Sicily, and the Italian countryside straight to Watertown with a chef-driven menu inspired by authentic regional Italian cuisine.

Think decadent pastas, rich slow-simmered sauces, rustic Sicilian specialties, coastal Italian influences, and dishes rarely found outside the streets of Italy itself. This isn’t your typical “Italian night” — this is a culinary trip across Italy without leaving town.

Several featured dishes will also showcase premium Olivelle - balsamics & infused oils, courtesy of our friends at Curated — adding another layer of authentic flavor and craftsmanship to this unforgettable menu experience.

From bold Tuscan flavors to comforting Sicilian classics, our kitchen has been hard at work creating dishes designed to transport your tastebuds straight to Europe.

Available for a limited time only. Follow our page for the official start date!
Once these dishes are gone, they’re gone — so come early, come hungry, and come often.

Watertown… prepare yourself.
