pasta and wine

In our opinion, pasta is excellent all year round, regardless of the season or weather conditions, but we believe it tastes its best during the summer months. As we bid farewell to spring and welcome summer, we thought it would be fitting to highlight the exceptional taste of our summer pasta dishes! Pasta is a culinary staple of authentic Italian cuisine, especially at Bar Enza at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA! Make this summer the most elegant and flavorful one yet by pairing a summer pasta dish with a sophisticated glass of wine to celebrate the season in style!
