If your Sunday Funday left you wondering how you’re going to make your
ever-shrinking budget stretch through the week without sacrificing good food,
Chef Peppino at Da Vinci Ristorante (162 Columbus Avenue,
Boston, 617.350.0007) hears you. He has an early-week special fit for a starving
artist: the $29 three-course-dinner menu. Every Monday and
Tuesday beginning at 5 p.m., wallet-watching diners choose one appetizer,
entrée, and dessert from the weekly-changing list. Some of tonight’s
contemporary Italian options are arancini with tomato confit, butternut squash
agnolotti, and a sorbet trio. Make reservations at 617.350.0007 or davinciboston.com.
