Celebrate with the staff at Rocco’s Tacos Boca Raton
There will be a bigger party than normal on Nov. 29 at Rocco’s Tacos Boca Raton (5250 Town Center Circle, 561/416-2131), where the director of bar operations, Richie Panella, will celebrate his retirement. Actually, the entire restaurant staff is celebrating, and that means Rocco Mangel will be there pouring free tequila. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., there will be complimentary appetizers, a cash bar (including the famous margaritas, pictured) and entertainment. The party benefits the Demalteris Family, in memory of their father and Rocco’s friend, Vito.
In December: Grato to open in West Palm Beach
The Belvedere Road to Okeechobee Boulevard section of Dixie Highway has been undergoing a serious renovation in the past year or so. It’s continuing with the addition of Grato, a restaurant slated to open in December at 1901 S. Dixie Highway, from Chef Clay Conley and his partners in Buccan Group. Known for popular Buccan on Palm Beach, Grato (means “grateful” in Italian) will bring the James Beard Award-nominated chef’s delicious Italian dishes to West Palm Beach, such as the Bucatini Carbonara (pictured). Enjoy the tastes inside a comfortable, modern trattoria-inspired surrounding. Word is the restaurant will seat 150 and will serve dinner seven nights a week, eventually including lunch and weekend brunch. Visit the website for more info.
