SavorCity Bridgeport: Trattoria 'A Vucchella

SAVORCITY, a monthly tour of Bridgeport restaurants, food, art, and music, showcasing the culinary and cultural delights of Connecticut’s most diverse city, continues for our third visit - to the Italian trattoria, 'A Vucchella in downtown. Organized by Rick Reyes Productions, Capital for Change, The NEST Arts Factory, and the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County, SavorCity organizes visits to neighborhood restaurants where guests can experience the authentic local cuisine of Bridgeport’s many, diverse neighborhoods. Each restaurant presents a prix fixe menu with a la carte choices. To accompany the food, and create a festive mood of celebration, Bridgeport musicians perform and Bridgeport artists showcase their work.

The Tour continues with dinner at Trattoria 'A Vucchella in downtown Bridgeport. Named after a Neapolitan song composed by Paolo Tosti, in honor of a woman's mouth, 'A Vucchella is time and again cited as one of the most authentic Italian restaurants you will find: "Bella! It was hard to believe we weren't in Sorrento." Dinner will comprise a prix fixe menu for $30. There will be a vegetarian option and suggested wine pairings - wine will be extra. For this visit, paintings will be displayed by Liz Squillace, locally famous for the Painted Stairway on the Broad Street Steps just around the corner from the restaurant, and music will be perfomed by jazz singer Uma Lou, accompanied by Matthew Detroy, piano, and Rich Zurkowski, upright bass.
