La Festa: a new series of regional feasts of Italy, starting with ravishing Rome on Wednesday 24th May @ 7pm

We’re excited to announce our series of feasts of Italy – La Festa – exploring the regions of the food capital of the world. Join us to navigate you through four courses of Italian cuisine like a local, starting with antipasto, onto primo, then secondo and always finishing with something sweet.
​​​​​​​
Our feasts of Italy will be packed with flavour, full of fresh ingredients and a celebration of everything the region has to offer.

Our first stop is Rome on Wednesday 24th May at 7pm. Our four courses for £48 will take you on a whistle-stop tour of the culinary delights the Eternal City has to offer. Read on for the full menu and to book your place.

Our antipasti course includes Suppli cacio e pepe – Rome’s ultimate fried street food, a rice-filled fritter not to be confused with the classic arancino. Followed by our primo pasta dish of Bigoli all’Amatriciana. As the name suggests, the origin is the city of Amatrice in the far northern reaches of Rome’s region of Lazio.

The secondi of Porchetta with herbed quinto-quarto stuffing is a nod to the ancient Roman ‘nose to tail’ approach of using every part of the pig.

​​​​​​​And to finish we have a Crostata ricotta e visciole, a shortcrust pastry pie filled with layers of visciole (sour cherries) and sweetened ricotta. Originating from the Jewish quarter, to this day you can still enjoy it in Rome’s Jewish ghetto bakeries.

​​​​​​​We look forward to welcoming those of you who can make our first in these series of La Festa dinners on Wednesday 24th May. Book using the links below. And if you can’t make this one we hope you can make one of our next up regional dinners – Palermo, Bologna, or Venice – in this regional trip around the food capital of the world.
