Italian is our most often requested cuisine, and we are very happy for our first Vine & Dine events since lockdown to be coming back to one of Calgary’s hidden gems, Franca’s Italian Specialties!
Franca and Mario Flaviano have been feeding Calgarians for many years, and are well-known too for Franca’s beautiful gift baskets and exclusive Italian chocolates.
This is traditional Italian food - everyone has loved our evenings here, we all felt like we were eating in our Italian grandma’s kitchen, with her explaining the dishes to us and telling us their stories.
Franca’s normally only opens at lunchtimes and on Saturday evenings, but they are opening specially for Culinaire Vine & Dine for three nights this summer and carefully adhering to social distancing with extra sanitary precautions, so we’ll be a maximum of 25 people.
Join us to enjoy this superb menu below of six dishes of Franca’s delicious Italian food and learn about the pairings that complement them!
