Experience an Authentic Italian Evening with Carmela Sereno Hayes
Join us for an unforgettable Italian Supper Club hosted by renowned Italian food writer and cookery tutor Carmela Sereno Hayes, and proudly sponsored by Filippo Berio, Italy’s leading olive oil brand.
Set in the beautiful and atmospheric surroundings of the museum’s Link Space, this exclusive evening promises a four-course Italian feast, thoughtfully crafted by Carmela herself. Each dish reflects the heart of cucina povera—a traditional, rustic style of Italian cooking that celebrates simplicity, seasonality, and soul.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a complimentary drink before sitting down to enjoy a menu designed to transport you straight to the Italian countryside. A carefully curated selection of wines, chosen by Carmela to complement the meal, along with a small range of beers and soft drinks, will be available to purchase.
This is a social dining experience, with guests seated in small groups at shared tables of up to six. If you're booking with friends, we’ll ensure you're seated together. For larger parties, we’ll do our best to accommodate your group across adjacent tables—just let us know your preferences when booking.

- Suitable for ages 18 and over
