BYOB Tuesdays: No Corkage Fee

How BYOB Tuesday Started

When Anthony opened Nonna's Kitchen in 2018, he did not have a liquor license yet. Tuesday nights, people just started showing up with wine. It turned into a thing. By the time the license came through, regulars were asking him to keep it going.

So he did. Every Tuesday night, Nonna's Kitchen is BYOB with no corkage fee. You bring what you want to drink. They bring the food. It works.

The Full BYOB Policy

• When: Tuesday nights only, during regular dinner service (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM)
• What you can bring: Any beverage -- wine, beer, spirits, sparkling water, whatever you like
• Corkage fee: None. Zero. Not a thing here.
• Glassware: We provide appropriate glasses for wine and sparkling. Bring your own specialty glassware if you prefer.
• Ice: Available on request at no charge
• How many bottles: No limit. Bring the case if you want.
• Reservations: Recommended for BYOB nights -- they fill up faster than any other night of the week

On Wednesday Through Sunday

The rest of the week, Nonna's Kitchen has a full bar and a curated Italian wine list -- Barolo, Chianti Classico, Vermentino, Prosecco, plus cocktails and amari. The bar is excellent. But Tuesdays have a charm of their own.

The crowd on Tuesday nights is mostly regulars and people who plan ahead. It is one of the most relaxed nights of the week -- the kind of meal where you settle in and stay for three hours. Anthony likes it that way.
