From the first buttery, marinated olive, to every spicy, savory bite of al dente maltagliati since then, we cannot get enough of the South End’s exquisite Venetian-style bacaro. So it’s great news, then, that co-chefs Kevin O’Donnell and Michael Lombardi are kicking off Sunday brunch in 2017.

Ring in New Year’s Day with the inaugural service, an a la carte experience of Italian-inflected pastries, egg dishes, salads, and pasta entrées fit for a serene Sunday in Venice. The menu offers a plump bombolone (filled doughnut) with cornmeal crema, soft-scrambled eggs with speck and sourdough, creamy polenta with poached eggs and tender beef stracotto, and rustic, hand-rolled pastas made with house-milled grain. Check it out below.

SRV is now taking reservations for New Year’s Day brunch (and walk-ins are welcome), and the Sunday service officially launches on January 22. The restaurant serves dinner nightly from 5-11 p.m.

11 a.m.-3 p.m., January 1 and regular Sundays beginning January 22, 569 Columbus Ave., South End, Boston, 617-536-9500, srvboston.com.
