From HungryWoolf.com:

RigbyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Kitchen has just started a Monday oyster night with $1 oysters in the bar. This week the oysters hailed from Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury Massachusetts and using WalshÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s book as a field guide, I would hazard a guess that they are C. gigas. They were served on a bed of ice with a mignonette (shallot and vinegar sauce), cocktail sauce and lemon as well as two kinds of the wonderful Eleni Christina bread. The shucker wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t the speediest, so expect a wait Ã¢â‚¬â€œ especially when word gets out, although IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m sure he will get faster with more practice.

What time do they start and end, is it a happy hour only thing?

I don't remember the last time I wished it was Monday.

That's quite a deal! If only I could afford anything else on their menu.

I've not tried the new bar menu, but I will often stop in on a Saturday afternoon, and sit with a bowl of soup, some of their bread and a few truffled eggs. Delicious, filling and well under $10.

That looks more doable. My Italian isn't good enough to translate Cichetti. I do remember "bere" is to drink and "birre" is beers.

I know "Prego" is "You're Welcome." I learned it when I worked as a waiter at an Italian place not worth mentioning... I was eager to try out my new Italian one night, and after the meal an older Italian couple thanked me "Grazie." I responded with "Ragu." I don't know what that means, but they looked offended.. Be careful which spaghetti sauce you choose when reciprocating gratitude with your Italian friends!

my recommendations: show up early and order prolifically. apparently Rigsby's only ordered 100 oysters for tonight and I ate 1/3 of them. I am assuming they will not underorder again.
