TGIT and Concert, Sept 12, 4:00pm – 6:00pm, Settebello and Oxnard Collection

We have a great TGIT Happy Hour planned for Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana located in The Collection at Riverpark, 2760 Seaglass Way, Oxnard, CA 93036. Plenty of parking in the structure behind the restaurant. Afterwards, we can enjoy a concert starting at 6:30pm featuring Twisted Gypsy – A tribute to Fleetwood Mac at The Collection Park.

We always enjoy this location for a TGIT! Settlebello offers a wide variety of pizzas, salads, salami, antipasti, pasta and dolci. See their menu at: https://www.toasttab.com/settebellooxn/v3.

Settebello was one of the first restaurants to open its doors to the Riverpark community in The Collection at Riverpark. From the day they opened the pizza oven has been manned by Pizzaiolo/Chef Rafael Garcia. Rafael has been part of the Settebello family since the beginning of our journey that started in Henderson, NV nearly 15 years ago. Since then Rafael oversaw the opening of our Pasadena location before relocating himself and his family to Riverpark to operate Settebello Oxnard.

After the TGIT, we can head over to the Collection Park for the Twisted Gypsy – A tribute to Fleetwood Mac concert. Bring your picnic chairs and blankets, relax, and enjoy a fantastic concert ! More info about the concert can be found at: Collection Concerts

TGIT Thursday, June 20, 4 – 6 pm, Social Tap

It’s summer and what a better way to celebrate the season than a TGIT at Social Tap followed by a stroll on the beach. Rebecca is having us meet up there on June 20th, 4 – 6 pm. Social Tap is located at 1105 S Seaward Ave, Ventura CA 93001.

The owners of Social Tap have developed the concept only knowing the restaurant business from the customer side of the table. Their vision is to focus on customer service, great food using high quality ingredients, creative cocktails & an emphasis on local craft beer. Everything that comes out of the Social Tap kitchen is scratch made, from their signature sandwiches, braised tacos or wing sauces. It is their firm belief that great food is the foundation to a restaurant’s identity, therefore they don’t cut corners.

You can view their menu here: Social Tap Menu

After the TGIT happy hour, we’ll take a stroll on the beach and enjoy the fresh ocean air, so bring a wrap in case it is chilly!

Hope to see you there!
