Looking for something different to do on "date night"? Bartolotta's Catering may have the answer.
With a play on the old classic dinner and a movie, the restaurant group giant is offering a series of flicks and foods at the Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin.
View an oldie but goodie movie on the big screen and then dine a three-course meal fashioned after the movie's theme. The price tag isn't slim -- $55 per person, not including cocktails and gratuity -- but it sure beats scarfing down a hamburger on your way to the general cinema to contend with 500 other people for overpriced, cold popcorn. To make reservations, call (414) 765-8610.
Thursday, Feb. 12, 6:30 p.m.: "Under the Tuscan Sun"
Saturday, Feb. 14, 6 & 6:30 p.m.: "Moulin Rouge" (two showings)
Thursday, March 5, 6:30 p.m.: "True Grit"
Thursday, March 19, 6:30 p.m.: "A Hard Day's Night"
Thursday, April 2, 6:30 p.m.: "The Natural"
Thursday, April 16, 6:30 p.m. : "Chariots of Fire"

John from Bartolottas here- actually, "Big Night" was the very first dinner & movie we did 5 years ago, for our 10th anniversary, and yes, we did make the timpano! We might do it again... Regarding the price, our special event dinners usually run $85-150, and we wanted to create something with great value- and with the chef we have, the themed 3 course meal, the chance to see a classic film on a big screen, and a great setting like Discovery World at night, I am confident we have done that. As a huge film buff, I really hope these dinners take off, as we have plans for series, sci-fi, animated, and just about everything you can think of. Thanks for looking and commenting!

I'm surprised that they overlooked "Big Night", and the opportunity to make Timpano.

Who in their right mind would pay that?

They should include an LSD drenched sugar cube as an appetizer for Moulin Rouge

I think $55.00 is very reasonable. It's an experience and something different. Great idea!
