The Plannerz Place Eatery - Mother's Day Italian Buffet

Sunday, May 12 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Northside Marketplace, 21 Furnace St.

Sunday, May 12, 2024, The Plannerz Place Eatery at Northside Marketplace is hosting a Mother’s Day Italian Buffet, from 1 to 5 p.m. Treat your mom to traditional dishes of Italy this Mother’s Day. Straying from their usual rotating menu of soul food, Mama T opted for an Italian menu this Mother’s Day, “because it’s served in a family-style manner, creating a wonderful atmosphere for a family gathering. It offers delicious comfort food that’s reminiscent of home-cooked meals made by moms everywhere.” 

Tickets to the buffet are $40 and are not available to children under the age of 13. Sorry kids! It’s not called Children’s Day, is it?  But, hurry and get your tickets, because seating is limited.
