I checked with Al Bottegon/Cantine del Vino Gia Schiavi, and they will be closed that Monday.
The more I think about it, the more Harry's Bar makes sense. Each Sunday is traditionally filled with local families, not tourists. As you will be with others, it is worth noting that the portions are very large, so feel free to share and know that you can even order a half portion . Late last year a friend who is well acquainted with VCE but had never dined at Harry's , joined us for lunch and was was pleasantly surprised to see that it was not a tourist trip but well populated by locals and we all enjoyed our meals. Definitely make a reservation. Easter Sunday will be packed.
