Father's Day in Italy
You might be surprised to find out that, while Italians do celebrate Father's Day, they don't celebrate it at the same time as we do here in the United States. Italy is deeply rooted in its Catholic traditions, so many feasts and festivals revolve around religious events, and Father's Day is no exception.
While we here in America traditionally celebrate in June. Father's Day in Italy is celebrated on March 19, which is Saint Joseph's day, the father of Jesus Christ. This day has transformed into a day to celebrate all fathers in Italy.
The dates may be different, but the celebrations are very similar. Children customarily write special cards, poems, and nursery rhymes to give to their dads. Ties, wallets, and colognes are common presents that children give to their father figures. Italian families often have a special lunch to honor their father or they go on a trip to celebrate the occasion if it falls during the weekend.
Father's Day at the Lake of the Ozarks
Here in the United States, Father's Day always falls on a Sunday which means you may choose to spend the entire weekend honoring Dad. That gives you 5 different meals that you can bring him to Li'l Rizzo's for. (Dinner on Friday night or lunch or dinner on Saturday or Sunday!)
Delicious Dishes for Dads
We realize that all people have different types of tastes, but we've tried to highlight a few of the food items from the Li'l Rizzo's menu that might get your father's taste buds tingling.
