Big Night at Ponyboy Brings an Iconic Culinary Cinema Experience to Point Loma

Big Night at Ponyboy is coming to The Pearl Hotel—and it’s bringing a five-course feast to match its cinematic namesake. This Culinary Cinema Experience with Cesarina pairs with the team at Ponyboy for a dreamy, Italian-inspired dive-in movie night under the stars.

Inspired by the beloved 1996 film Big Night, the menu is a love letter to Italian-American classics, including the showstopping timpano, along with chicken piccata, sgroppino, and spumoni ice cream sandwiches.

Expect old-world flavors, bold wines, and a poolside screening that brings the entire experience to life.

What’s on the Menu

  • Caesar Salad: Romaine, charred radicchio, crispy artichokes, parmesan
  • Timpano: Four pasta, tomato béchamel, basil
  • Chicken Piccata: ‘Nduja, potato purée, capers
  • Sgroppino: Lemon, champagne, slushy
  • Spumoni Ice Cream Sandwich: Dark chocolate, strawberries, pistachio

Wine pairings are available for an additional fee. And get there early for cocktail hour!

See you there!
