🍷🍝 Join us for an Italian Date Night Cooking Adventure!
Skip the ordinary dinner out and indulge in an unforgettable evening of food and wine! Guided by our charismatic Chef, you and your partner will unlock the secrets of rustic Italian cooking in a hands-on class that’s equal parts of fun and flavor.
Imagine the kitchen alive with the fragrance of garlic sautéing in golden olive oil, fresh herbs, and focaccia rising to perfection. As you cook side by side, you’ll discover the joy of creating a menu that’s both comforting and elegant—dishes that celebrate the passion of Italian cuisine while giving you a night to remember. All recipes have been handed down through generations of Chef John’s family.
🍽️ The Menu
🍕 Chef John’s Homemade Cast Iron Deep Dish Pizza – Crispy on the outside, cheesy and gooey on the inside, with Chef’s homemade marinara and mozarella cheese.
🥗 Italian Antipasto Salad – A vibrant mix of cured meats, cheeses, olives, and crisp vegetables, drizzled with a zesty Italian vinaigrette.
🍗 Chicken Cacciatore – Tender chicken braised in a rich tomato sauce with peppers, onions, and Italian herbs, served rustic-style for maximum comfort and flavor.
🍝 Handmade Bucatini Pasta Aglio e Olio – Silky ribbons of fresh pasta glistening with golden garlic gently sautéed in EVOO, finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and a whisper of chili heat. Simple, rustic, and utterly irresistible.
🍊 Orange Cardamom Olive Oil Cake – Moist, fragrant, and lightly spiced, this cake is a perfect balance of citrus brightness and warm cardamom notes.
🍹 Cocktail Special
Aperol Spritz – The iconic Italian aperitivo, a sparkling blend of Aperol, Prosecco, and soda water with a slice of orange for the perfect balance of citrus and fizz.
👨‍🍳 Instructor: Chef John Alunni
👩‍🍳 Format: Hands-On & Demonstration
Raise your glass, roll up your sleeves, and let this Italian Date Night be your recipe for laughter and unforgettable flavors. 🥂✨
