THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6
It was more than the intriguing name that attracted us to the monthly L'Ombelico del Mondo Party at Rocca (500 Harrison Avenue, Boston, 617.451.5151). We also love that TMG's Jay Manciocchi and DJ Francesco Spagna of deepboston are putting the restaurant's prime lounge space to good use. The night features Spagna's sexy signature blend of international house music spiced up with Italian and Latin influences. Rocca provides complimentary late-night bites and an international crowd packs the place from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., even spilling out onto the heated patio. There's never a cover charge, and parking is free; we recommend shooting an RSVP e-mail to tmgboston@gmail.com or dj_spagna@yahoo.com.
