Italian dining is more than just pasta and pizza—Cena brings the authentic experience (amaro, Chianti, music and more) to Pastoral on Friday, November 11th. Chef Todd Winer and team are joining forces with Double Espresso for an immersive Italian dinner. The four-course menu includes favorites like prosciutto crudo, burrata, buccatini and tiramisu, paired with wines and cocktails, made with traditional Italian liquors. To complete the convivial atmosphere, Italian musicians DJ Valerio Galli and Nicola Mei will perform live for one-night only. Tickets for Cena – which runs from 7:00pm-1:00am – are $80 each for dinner and the show (or $150 per couple). Or, guests can opt for the show experience only, with wines, at 10:00pm for $30 each. Tickets can be purchased online here.
