Zampa Beer Selection is a Perfect Match for St. Pat’s

At Zampa, we pride ourselves on local and/or small crafted food and drink. Join us for St. Patty’s Day for a little beer – in your glass and on your plate. Our draft lines have local favorites as Moat Mountain, Peak Organic and Smuttynose. Cory & Jess’ bottle selection includes Affligem Belgian Dubbel and Tripel Ales, Bellhaven Wee Heavy Scottish Ale, St. Peter’s English I.P.A. and Canadian favorites from Unibroue – Ephemere, Maudite and Trois Pistoles. How about some cheddar beer soup?

Special New Year’s Eve – Julie and Julia

Join us for a New Year’s Eve to Remember!

Our 8th New Year’s Eve Celebration is just around the corner. This is the time we let our talented kitchen crew play a bit more and shine with a specially designed five course menu to sweetly kiss goodbye 2009 and make a warm welcome for the 2010.  

This year, we are paying homage to one of the all time great Masters of the Classics – Julia Child. Featuring Julie (DiTursi that is) and (inspiration from) Julia, New Years Eve 2009 will be celebrated with a five course menu offering classic recipes created by this modern day epicurean pioneer. Think about crepes and baked Alaska – we are!  Menu to come – we’re still reading, testing and tasting.

 As tradition stands, this will be one seating only, December 31, 2009. Bubbly pours at 6:30pm. Five courses to follow. $60 per person. Space is limited. Call 603.679.8772 today for reservations.

Spring blooms with new things at Zampa

Spring has brought about some exciting new things around here. First and foremost, Cory and I are thrilled to introduce you to Nola – the newest epicurean member of the Zampa family – she arrived not a moment too soon on the 19th of March. She pops in from time to time- so if you see her – please say hello. Also – you can check her out on our friend Jay Reiter’s website -   http://www.jayreiter.com/blog/?tag=nola

There are new wines and new summer elixirs on the drink menu. Alongside an excellent wine selection we have a new Zampa homemade sangria – sure to quench your thirst.

We were fortunate to host a recent wine dinner with R&B vineyards from California and that helped us to kick start the new menu selections. For all that attended – thanks for a great evening!

We are rolling out the new menu now! Please stop by and have a taste! Back by popular demand we have the Duck Walnut Ravioli, a Zampa classic, and we are introducing such delights as Hot Buttered Sea Scallops and Duck Two Ways. There are many new items, so please make plans today to join us for dinner!

Hope to see you soon! Julie
