ITALI.CO’S A NIGHT WITH ITALY’S YOUNG CHEF OF THE YEAR

At just 28 years of age, the Tuscan chef brings a wealth of achievements to Itali.co. Before arriving in Australia only last month, Verni’s Le Tre Lune (The Three Moons) in Calenzano, outside Florence, was awarded a Michelin Star as part of the 2015 Michelin Guide. He was subsequently named Italy’s Young Chef of the Year by the prestigious magazine L’Espresso. Before opening Le Tre Lune, Verni honed his culinary skills at the lavish three star flagship of the Alain Ducasse empire, Louis XV in Monaco, where he added a French flourish to his culinary repertoire.

Guests on the night will be treated to a six-course degustation with Italian matched wines. Highlights from the menu include Bottoni di patate, astice, aglio olio e peperoncino (Potato and Lobster buttons with garlic, oil and chilli); Risotto al gelato di rapa rossa ed erborinato (Risotto with beetroot ice cream and gorgonzola); and Torta della nonna, gelato al vin santo (Nonna’s torte with vin santo gelato).

The addition of Verni is the latest in Itali.co’s quest for continual innovation through a mix of ancient and contemporary ingredients, traditional methods and modern processes.

Tickets are $130 including matched wines. To purchase call Itali.co on (03) 9537 5300
