Chef Dawn Wilson of Vicini Pastaria and A NEW DAWN Personal Chef Service once again presents Cena con Amici ("Dinner with friends"), an evening of rustic hand-crafted Italian food and lively conversation with soon-to-be great friends. We are taking over Munno for one night only to bring you a special pop-up dinner featuring tartufo nero, better known as black truffle. Rare and enigmatic, the highly prized and sought after winter black truffle from the Perigord region of France is an ephemeral delicacy; their exact locations a highly guarded secret by the truffle hunters that unearth them and only in season for a very short time. Referred to as "Diamonds of Perigord", winter black truffles are truly unique and intoxicating; rich, earthy, highly aromatic, and incomparably delicious. You don't want to miss this opportunity to experience this fleeting, extraordinary culinary treasure, intricately woven through five delicious courses. Gather around our communal table and enjoy this made-from-scratch authentic Italian feast prepared with a combination of seasonal, local and imported Italian artisanal ingredients and topped with shaved fresh black truffles.
