To all of my wonderful friends out there:
I’m going to be cooking another Chef Dinner. This time it will be at Eastern Standard, and with a very limited seating.
The information for booking, and the menu are posted below.
I miss you all, and I hope that you can make it to this fun event of dining & sipping great wines!

Now that I’m able to post again, I’d like to let all of our beloved patrons & friends know that- if you haven’t heard- I will be cooking an Erbaluce wine dinner at Branch Line restaurant in Watertown. The dinner will be Tuesday March 5, and will feature unique wines to go with my dishes. The info is below. For reservations e-mail: [email protected].
I hope to see you all there!

To all of my valued friends, and patrons of Erbaluce: I’m sorry for all of the ad postings on this page. It was hacked, and I’ve lost control over most of it, although it seems that I can still post to this page.

The deliriously indulgent Chocolate Pâté, now at Alcove!

To all those who were deeply disappointed to miss the razor clams this past weekend (and there were many of you,) guess what …

In case you were wondering if it’s that time:
Yes! It IS that time!
Come and get them!
(At Alcove restaurant.)

To all of my dear friends and beloved customers, it is now officially out into the World that I have taken root in the kitchen at Alcove restaurant, next to Boston Garden.
I would love to see you all, and be able to cook for you once again.
My strong suggestion is to come in on a night when there are no games, or events at The Garden, or after 7:30 pm on any night, to avoid the game rush. That way I can stop by to say hello, and catch up on our gazette of days.
I miss you all.

In full disclosure; the company is owned by my brother Christopher and his husband Rob. My brother is even more dedicated to sourcing the very finest ingredients than I am! (And those of you who know me know how strong a statement that is!)
I use his soaps, and Joan uses his facial & skin care products every day. We have for years.

There are a few seats left for the Wednesday Mushroom & Wine Dinner. (We expanded the seating.)

This will be the last Buttery dinner that I’ll be the chef for (at least for this year.)
I hope to see you there!

Mushrooms & Wine: A Magical Food & Wine Dinner with Chef Charles Draghi Please join Chef Charles Draghi & Buttery Pastry Chef Chris Goluszka on our heated patio to savor a magical menu of mushrooms and wine!

For those of you who posted comments about not being available to join us for the mushroom dinner next Wed., you are in luck: Because of weather forecasts predicting heavy rains that night (and much of the seating for The Buttery being outside,) we’re moving the date to the following Wed. (Nov. 3)
That move will inevitably open up some spaces in the previously sold-out dinner!
If this change makes attending easier for you, and you’re interested in dining with us, please book a seat with the Eventbrite link below.
I hope to see you there!

It’s finally here!
The dinner that everyone has been asking for!
The wild, foraged mushroom & wine dinner.
Because of all the rain we’ve had, this may be the best mushroom dinner- ever!
Book your seats quickly, because this one is sure to sell-out!

(Menu and wine pairings will be selected closer to the date of the event, based on mushroom harvest and availability.)

Hello friends and patrons of old!

But, there are a few seats left (some of you have reached out to me about it over the past couple of days.) I wouldn’t wait to reserve a seat at our table, though: the last dinner sold out quickly!
