The courtyard at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge) isn’t exactly the canals of Venice, but we’re certain that Rialto’s Venetian BBQ Nights, held there on July 11 and 12, will transport us nearly as well. The four-course al fresco dinners begin with a prosecco and cichetti (that’s small bites) reception at 6 pm. The cost is $95, all-inclusive; call 617.661.5050 to reserve a spot.
