Native Tequestas christened a scenic island Bischiyano (translation: “favorite path of the rising moon”).

Fast-forward a few centuries (hey, we know you’re busy) and its name has evolved into Key Biscayne. But the skies are still mighty pretty there.

In that spirit, Cioppino restaurant launched monthly Moonrise Dinners. On the kids’ menu: Tuscan vegetable cups, baked potatoes with broccoli and cheddar, and mini baked lasagnas. For adults they fork over a prix fixe inspired by the regions of Italy.

And every table gets a telescope and “constellation concierge” who points out celestial wonders like Orion’s Belt.

You’ll be over the moon.

The next Moonrise Dinner takes place Saturday at Cioppino, inside The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, 455 Grand Bay Drive, Key Biscayne (305-365-4286 or ritzcarlton.com). Call for reservations and future dates.
