Arrivederci’s presents live Latin Jazz featuring the Bobby Torres Ensemble! Music from 8:00-11:00pm. Tonight Bobby features vocalists Christine Yvette and Sean Holmes. Reflecting the family ambiance of this unique Italian venue, Bobby has gathered a cadre of well known NW Artists featuring Al Criado on bass, George Mitchell on piano, Cameron Morgan on guitar, Carmelo Torres on drums and of course Bobby Torres on congas and percussion. With any luck, Steve Hanneman will sneak in with his axe during the last set. And, with some encouragement, Steve will also break into song! Jazz lovers, the intimate seating, that closely surrounds the bandstand, gets booked out early so call for your reservation today (503) 659-1143.  This is a family friendly venue for the entire evening. Don’t miss this opportunity to chill-ax up close and personal with your family and friends with some of the best live jazz in Portland!

In addition to the live music, enjoy a selection from Kate and Steve’s menu and wine list. Bobby recommends a glass of pinot noir with the Vegetarian Pizza (ask for it because it is not listed on the menu). Order it Bobby’s heart healthy way (extra veggie) on a fabulous gluten free crust and hold the cheese! For your starter, enjoy a small roasted beet and pear salad. Yum! Some vegetarian, GF, vegan options available upon request.
