The Sea of Italy
An EVENING INSPIRED BY THE SOUTH COAST OF ITALY
$170pp | 5 course menu + matching wines
This menu is a tribute to Nico’s childhood memories growing up in Puglia with his grandfather who was a fisherman, and where food was always about family, honesty, and sharing. This is a celebration of southern Italian cooking: simple ingredients and recipes shaped by memory rather than trends.
Tonight, you are his guests. Let him take you to the south coast of Italy - to the boats, the sea, the smell of salt in the air, and the meals shared between family and friends.
Benvenuti alla nostra tavola.
