On August 1st, 1977, the Supreme Counsel of the Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy in America granted a charter to a group of founding members and the Cape Cod Lodge 2404 Order of Sons of Italy in America was born and Cape Cod had its first Italian American club based in Hyannis.

In the early 1980’s, through the volunteer efforts of many founding members a fund raising drive was started and became very popular on the Cape and was known as PastaNite and ran at various locations on Wednesday nights in the off season.

Pasta Nite eventually found a home in Mashpee as two of our members, Dan and Eva Paliuca offered the use of their restaurant, Dan and Bill and S. Joseph DiMaggio became Pasta Nite Chairman.

Pasta Nite moved once again, remaining in Mashpee as members Don and Donna Blethen offered the use of their restaurant, Ma Glockners and the traditional Italian food offered at Pasta Nite became increasingly popular and the fund raising efforts centered on building a home for Cape Cod Lodge 2404.

On January 1st, 1988, our dream of a beautiful home become a reality as we opened our brand new function facility, La Sala Grande (Italian for The Great Room) and the Pasta Nite venture moved into its very own location with two final changes: it became a year round operation and a move to Thursday evenings where it is still a staple amongst the locals and a popular tourist attraction.

Cape Cod Lodge 2404, coming a long way from its humble beginnings, was now the proud owner of La Sala Grande, a full service catering/function hall which has become home to many events, family celebrations, annual fund raisers, wedding, parties and all types of events.

Our current President and Pasta Nite Chairperson, Holly Gaglio, our management team of Michael DiMaggio (Joe’s son), John Scaramuzzo, all the past lodge presidents, officers and members of Cape Cod Lodge 2404 through the year, thank you, our cherished customers, for your past and future support and we are very excited about the coming years.
