Several Erie restaurants are partnering with the Erie Philharmonic for an immersive Italian dinner and concert broadcast on Feb. 25. 

Participating restaurants include La Bella, Calao's Ristorante, Ricardo's, Make it Fabulous Catering and The Cork 1794. The restaurants will be promoting a featured dish or menu for the Philharmonic's Viva Italia! concert that premieres Thursday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. on WQLN. 

The concert will feature a collection of music from Italian composers such as Rossini, Puccini, Verdi, Respighi and more. 

Erie Philharmonic Executive Director Steve Weiser says the goal is to help businesses in the hospitality sector that have been impacted by the pandemic. 

Food can be ordered ahead of time and picked up from the restaurants the same day as the concert broadcast. 

Menus, restaurants and concert information can be found at eriephil.org/italy.
