A Taste of BABBO at BREZZA

The evening will feature five participating chefs who all trained under the B&B umbrella of restaurants, including Chef Zach Allan, current Director of Culinary and Development for RSC Management Services (Mozza, Babbo, Lupa, and more.), Chef Nicole Brisson, Executive Chef of Brezza, Bar Zazu and AMARI, Chef Arnold Corpuz, Executive Sous Chef of Brezza & Bar Zazu, Jorge Puebla, and Jose Gonzalez (Dennis) of Brezza.

The driving force for these chefs was the post-covid understanding of the importance of chef collaborations and really honoring their blood, sweat, and tears while working at some of the very best Italian restaurants in the US.

"My first day at B&B Ristorante I was trained on the Babbo recipes by Jorge Puebla," recalls Chef Nicole Brisson. "Jorge and Zach Allen worked with Mario Batali for over 20 years and the menu will consist of so many of our favorite classics. My business partner at Brezza, Jason Rocheleau, and I have been excited about a dinner like this since the day we opened."

"Our Beverage Director, Miklos, has carefully selected Italian varietals you would find in Babbo's iconic wine cellar in NYC," continues Brisson, "and I can't wait to get the band back together and share such a memorable experience with our guests."

The menu they've composed is an array of classic Babbo dishes and personal favorites:

"I love having the opportunity with two great chefs (who happen to also be great friends) to cook the food that has really shaped our cooking style. Babbo has become iconic with Italian food in America over the past 25 years," states Chef Zach Allen, "and each dish is based on great ingredients used simply and to their fullest. I believe Nicole has taken this idea to heart and ran with it for this very special upcoming dinner."

The plated dinner will be served in Brezza's private dining room, so seats are limited to just 24 guests.

Price is $375 inclusive of wines selected by Beverage Director Miklos Katona, tax and gratuity.
