The Most Authentic Italian Experience in the Wellington Region

Demonstration Dinners

Our Demonstration Dinners are based on a 4-course menu with 3 dishes demonstrated.
Our chef Gabriele will show you how he prepares the dishes while you comfortably sit at your table, then the food will be served at the table.
The dinners start at 6.45pm and bookings are essential.
The cost is $90 per person (pre-paid) and wine matches are provided for the first three courses - all other wine and beverages are an additional cost.

Antonio believes that "Italians and New Zealanders have a lot in common - a love for good food and for sharing it, the importance of family and lifestyle are things that are important to all of them."

Because of his belief, our Demonstration Dinners aim at offering a real Italian hospitality experience and our knowledge of Italian food and culture. These dinners also provide a fantastic chance to pick up some new cooking skills while enjoying a great meal - killing two birds with one stone...in a very agreeable way.
