It’s Rosé Week at Barbuzzo, Jamonera, Little Nonna’s, and More

Refresh with rosé-paired dinners and rosé specials all week on 13th Street.


We’re in deep summer now, folks — and chef Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran are giving sweaty, sticky Philadelphia exactly what it needs to get through this week: lots and lots of rosé.

The restaurateurs are bringing rosé-centric prix fixe menus to Barbuzzo on Monday, July 17th, Little Nonna’s on Tuesday July 18th, and Jamonera on Wednesday, July 19th. Each menu will be paired with three different rosé wines, and three courses along with pairings will go for $48 per person each night.

And starting today and going through Friday, July 21st, rosé specials and takeovers are all over 13th Street: In fact, Barbuzzo’s entire wine list will be rosé only — that’s 26 varieties from five countries and made with more than 42 kinds of grapes.

At Bud & Marilyn’s, cool off all week with boozy frosé slushies during lunch, dinner, and brunch service. At Lolita, rosé sangria is on special for $6 during happy hour — that’s Sunday through Friday from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. — at the bar and outdoor tables only through the 21st.

Check out the three full rosé dinner menus at Barbuzzo, Little Nonna’s, and Jamonera below — reservations are recommended.
