Italian Dinner Party

Sample Menu

All menus are highly personalized, with a complete sequence of courses, and pay careful attention to seasonal appropriateness in the fullest Italian traditions. Menus can also focus on a specific region of Italy if needed.

​

The dinner can be organized in a sit-down context or more informal buffet-style. All food is prepared in your home to ensure an authentic and freshly prepared Italian experience. A full clean up is included. This is a far more intimate, exciting and cost-effective way of throwing a dinner party than having on at a restaurant with many overhead costs.
