Grain, Pasta & Hands

An EVENING INSPIRED BY family kitchen and italian traditions

$170pp | 5 course menu + matching wines

For generations, grain has been at the heart of Italian family life.

From the bread on the table each morning, to the pasta shared on Sundays, some of Italy’s most cherished traditions began with the simplest of ingredients: flour, water, time and care.

This dinner celebrates the farmers, millers, bakers, and home cooks who transformed humble ingredients into meals that brought people together. It is a reflection of a way of cooking built on patience, respect, and the belief that great food does not need to be complicated.

Join us as we share the flavours, stories and traditions that continue to shape Italian cuisine today.

Benvenuti alla nostra tavola.
