Black Truffle Dinner With Simone Proietti Pesci And Liam LaCivita

We are excited to welcome back our dear friend and marvelous chef, Simone Proietti-Pesci. Born in Spoleto, Italy and steeped in the traditions of the Umbrian kitchen, Simone Proietti-Pesci, chef-owner of Bevagna’s renowned restaurant le Delizie del Borgo is returning to the Via Umbria kitchen. Learning to cook in his grandmother’s kitchen, his style is intuitive - a little bit of this, a pinch of that, something fresh from the garden - creating the perfect dish. Despite his young age, he has run his own restaurant for more than a dozen years - developing a passionate following both locally and internationally.

Drawing on the Umbrian tradition of simplicity and freshness but demonstrating their own innovativeness, Chef Simone and Chef Liam have created a menu that focuses on the rare and incredibly flavorful Black Truffle. Black truffle is a centerpiece truly worthy of a dinner of this magnitude and will not disappoint. The chefs will lead your group through each course and educate it on the flavors in each dish and answer any questions you may have. This is an experience that you will not soon forget, so buy your tickets today and don’t miss out!
