Our Italian Regional Dinners provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the very essence of Italy before your journey even begins. Beyond a mere dining experience, these evenings serve as a gateway to Italy's soul, offering a tantalizing preview of the country's richness before you step onto its shores. Tonight's spotlight is on Portofino, where we'll explore its culinary treasures and traditions.
Our Portofino dinner party is an invitation to become part of our extended family, where our casa transforms into your home away from home. Join us as we celebrate the sophisticated and fresh flavors of the Italian Riviera with Chef Paola and her talented team, who will guide you through a gastronomic adventure unlike any other.
Let us take you on a journey to discover Ligurians hidden gems, famous landmarks, and delicious dining spots. From cozy cafes to top-rated Michelin-starred restaurants, we'll reveal the culinary delights that make the Italian Riviera food scene so vibrant.
Mangia bene, vivi felice—eat well, live happily!
