Big Game Hosting, the Storico Fresco Way

Storico Fresco is stepping in for Big Game hosting duty with a preorder lineup made for sharing, grazing, and going back for seconds. The Michelin-recognized Buckhead restaurant, market, and full bar is now taking preorders from January 14 through February 5, with pickup on Sunday, February 8, just in time for kickoff. Expect the same from-scratch approach Storico is known for, scaled up for a crowd and designed to keep hosts out of the kitchen. The Big Game menu covers all the bases: a large rigatoni with Bolognese, salumi and formaggi board, pan of mini meatballs, brined fried chicken with wings and drumsticks, large mista salad, and a family-sized tiramisu to finish strong. Grab a bottle (or two) of their Enio Ottaviani wines or a pregame cocktail at the bar before pickup. Catering packages for the Big Game can be ordered here. Storico Fresco is located at 3167 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305. For more information or reservations, visit storicofresco.com.
