National Cocoa Day: Dec. 12 or 13? Authorities on the matter, such as they are, differ, but Onesto Pizza & Trattoria’s going with the 12th. More specifically, tomorrow the South Side eatery will observe that quasi-holiday by treating guests to cocoa – and to Kris Kringle.

Yes, Santa Claus will grace Onesto with his (no pun intended) presence from 1 to 3 p.m. for photos and a story time, said the restaurant’s Michele Racanelli. “Hot cocoa will be complimentary during Santa hours,” she added, “but the rest [of the time] will range from $4 to $6.”

Onesto will serve both kid-friendly and adult cocoa drinks, the latter made with Meletti Cioccolato, Baileys and other yummies. Moreover, said Racanelli, the restaurant will continue to offer hot cocoa throughout the holiday season. And upcoming there on Saturday, Dec. 26: a celebration of National Candy Cane Day.
