Some of the mouth watering specialties being showcased include; Pizza, Cheese, Salumi (cold meat cuts), Pasta and Gelato (Icecream). Other than this, guests will have a chance to sip on authentic Italian wines and cocktails in true inimitable Italian style.
“As a visiting chef, the experience has been fantastic – people have been extremely curious and passionate about various modern and cultural Italian dishes. Many have been keen to try several dishes, but they have also wanted to learn more about the different dishes” noted Mr. Pincelli.
