One Night in Italy : La Dolce Vita Pop-Up Dinner
Wednesday March 5th 6:00 PM - 9:00PM

Join our chef-instructors, led by Chef Ben Kiely, and their Advanced Culinary and Pastry students and be transported to an immersive One Night in Italy Pop-up Dinner!

Indulge in a curated five-course menu that pays tribute to the cuisine of Italy, where time-honored techniques meet seasonal, local ingredients. From delicate Scallop Crudo with blood orange to the bold, rustic flavors of Veal Osso Buco and Risotto Milanese, each dish celebrates the depth and richness of the Italian culinary tradition.

Let the warmth of Smoked Wild Boar Ragu with handmade Chestnut Pappadelle and the delicate sweetness of Poached Pears with Taleggio sweep you off to a candlelit trattoria on the cobblestone streets of Rome or to the charming villages in Tuscany and Piedmonte. This one-night-only event promises an evening inspired by La Dolce Vita!
