Enjoy an Italian meal, trattoria-style, and enjoy the company of friends while watching Chef Larry entertain with his cooking!
Larry is back to share his love of Italian cooking with us! If you have never experienced Larry’s entertaining way of engaging his audience while preparing food, be prepared for a fun adventure!
So what is a trattoria-style dinner?
A trattoria-style meal captures the heart of Italian hospitality—unpretentious, flavorful, and rooted in tradition. All hallmarks of Larry’s cooking and his style of hospitality!
Dishes are crafted from fresh, local ingredients and reflect generations of culinary wisdom, with menus offering a comforting array of antipasto, pasta, and seasonal specialties. Meals are served family style at large tables, inviting diners to share stories in a warm, communal setting. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, more like a friend’s kitchen than a formal restaurant. Wine flows generously, thoughtfully paired to enhance the food’s rustic charm. To finish, desserts are lovingly homemade—bringing the meal to a sweet, satisfying close.
What to Expect:
Larry famously provides a fun-filled evening, telling us about the preparation of his dishes and graciously sharing his recipes for success at home.
His Trattoria-style meal consists of four traditional courses served with a healthy flow of chianti:
1st Course: Antipasto
2nd Course: Linguine with clam sauce
3rd Course: Short ribs over a bed of mashed potatoes
4th Course: Tiramisu
