🍷🍝 Join us for an Italian Date Night Cooking Adventure!Skip the ordinary dinner out and indulge in an unforgettable evening of food and wine! Guided by our charismatic Chef, you and your partner will unlock the secrets of rustic Italian cooking in a hands-on class that’s equal parts of fun and flavor.
Imagine the kitchen alive with the fragrance of garlic sautéing in golden olive oil, fresh herbs, and focaccia rising to perfection. As you cook side by side, you’ll discover the joy of creating a menu that’s both comforting and elegant—dishes that celebrate the passion of Italian cuisine while giving you a night to remember. All recipes have been handed down through generations of Chef John’s family.
🍽️ The Menu
Homemade Focaccia with Whipped Ricotta
Golden, pillowy focaccia baked until perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy within, infused with rosemary, thyme, and roasted garlic. Served warm with a luxurious cloud of whipped ricotta, lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Italian Chopped Salad
A vibrant mix of crisp romaine, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, roasted peppers, and sharp provolone, tossed with a zesty red wine vinaigrette. Every bite is a refreshing balance of crunch, tang, and bold Italian flavor.
Chicken Saltimbocca
Tender chicken breast layered with delicate prosciutto and fresh sage, then pan-seared to perfection and finished with a white wine–butter sauce. A classic Roman dish whose name means “jumps in the mouth”—and it truly does!
Handmade Pasta Aglio e Olio
Silky ribbons of fresh pasta glistening with golden garlic gently sautéed in EVOO, finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and just a whisper of chili heat. Simple, rustic, and utterly irresistible.
Torta della Nonna
A beloved Tuscan dessert—shortcrust pastry filled with creamy, lemon-scented custard, topped with pine nuts and a dusting of powdered sugar. Light, elegant, and straight from “Grandma’s kitchen.”
🍹 Cocktail Special
Aperol Spritz – The iconic Italian aperitivo, a sparkling blend of Aperol, Prosecco, and soda water with a slice of orange for the perfect balance of citrus and fizz.
