WE WISH YOU... HAPPINESS!!
If you celebrate Christmas you are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. If you celebrate Hanukkah you celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, of spirituality over materiality. If you celebrate Kwanzaa you honor universal African-American heritage and culture.
It matters what you celebrate - but included in your celebration, this is the time of the year when we have a chance to reflect about our blessings, our family, our friends. We take a deserved break from a hectic year (not us in the restaurant business, though) and start thinking about things to come. It is a time of joy and peace. What a wonderful time of the year.
We wish you the best and we hope that we can give you a hug up close and personal!
For us it is Merry Christmas!
But also Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Holiday Season!!

INNER CIRCLE PROGRAM
We are happy to report that we have been able to integrate our Inner Circle program with our two restaurants. That means that the points accumulated at either restaurant will be credited towards the one single card you own. And it also means that you can redeem your awards at either one of our restaurants.
Please don't forget to register your card at our Mezzanotte website. Go to www.mezzanotte.tv and click on the link "Join our Inner Circle Program" at the bottom of the page. If you have any problems registering please let us know and we will register you.
This program helps us recognize you and thank you for your patronage. Please join - it is easy, fun and rewarding!
Of course everything starts with your card - if you don't have one ask for one the next time you come to Mezzanotte or Piqueo.
Cheers!

SPECIAL BUBBLY AT MEZZANOTTE
To start the season's celebrations we have chosen a beautiful Prosecco produced from grapes grown in the hilly area of Valdobbiadene, which is the most historically located region for the production of Prosecco.
Bright straw yellow with fine bubbles. The bouquet is fragrant and intensely fruity. It shows clean notes of apples, pears and citrus. Crisp, clean and delicate with fine bubble caressing. Intense sensations of apples and peaches drive a pleasant aftertaste, that is reminiscent of fruity and floral aromas.
Ideal as an aperitif; it is very versatile as a food companion. Ruffino Prosecco perfectly matches fish and shellfish dishes as well as chicken and veal dishes.
