This summer, Whidbey Pies Cafe hosted Fabio & Rita’s Italian Pop-Up every First Friday. The cafe, usually open only in daytime, transformed into an evening destination for authentic Italian food prepared by a young couple from Italy, chef Fabio Consonni and sommelier and wine educator, Rita Di Tondo. Outside, Whidbey Pies topped off the four-course meal with live music, wine, beer and of course, pie slices. The last pop-up dinner is Sept. 1.
