Springfield to dine on murder mystery

Mystery lovers in Springfield will have a chance to have fun at a special event.

Maggiano’s Little Italy in Springfield will be the place to be for a Murder Mystery at Maggiano’s. People who love mysteries will want to be at the event for a chance to be dropped directly into the middle of a comic homicide investigation. A dinner will be served, but attendees may want to think twice about eating or acting nervous in case they become a suspect.

Tickets to the mystery includes dinner, which promises to be an Italian feast. The meal starts with zucchini fritte, Italian tossed salad, Caesar salad, and balsamic tomato bruschetta. The second course offers choices of parmesan crusted cod, chicken Parmesan, vegetarian baked ziti, or a four-cheese ravioli served with a pesto alfredo sauce. Dessert is either New York-style cheesecake or tiramisu. The meal will be served family style.

Tickets are $65 per person, which includes the murder mystery, non-alcoholic beverages, and dinner. A $75 ticket includes the mystery, dinner, non-alcoholic beverages, and either a beer or glass of wine per person. The event is limited to those 21 and older. Anyone with dietary restrictions should contact the restaurant when they make reservations.

The fun starts at 7.00 pm on Friday, July 19, and the event ends at 10.00 pm. Maggiano’s is at 6500 Springfield Mall. When they arrange events like this, planners will often use brochure printing to create a menu.
