Italian Regional Menu Series
Travel to a new destination every month as Chef Stefano Manfredi takes you on a region-by-region Italian tour with menus inspired by traditional local recipes and produce.
This May you are invited to experience the authentic flavours of Lazio’s unique culture and climate, with a four-course menu and matched wines for just $90 per person.
For the rest of each month the same dishes will be available for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. Each course will feature on the À la carte menu (individually priced) or as an offer – 4 courses for $75 (food only).
