The Viva Italia in Canberra festival is just starting off this year and is dedicated to celebrating and promoting Italian culture, community and heritage in Canberra and surrounding areas. It is run by the Viva Italia in Canberra committee. One of the festival aims is to showcase all things Italian, through Italian themed events. That is why we have decided to come under the banner of the festival for this dinner.
The Accademia Italiana della Cucina was founded as an institute of the Republic of Italy by Orio Vergani back in 1953. The purpose was to protect the culture and traditions of Italian cuisine and to recognize it as an Italian treasure. Delegations were formed to promote these objectives, and these have grown to around 300 in Italy and the world with the head office of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina in Milan.
The Canberra delegation was formed in 2006 and is undertaking the task of assessing The Italian Place restaurant as part of the Canberra Italian Festival to help celebrate and promote Italian culture of which food is an important part.
HERE IS THE MENU for the evening prepared in collaboration with the chef of “The Italian Place", Francesco Petrillo. There is a choice for “main” (please choose fish or chicken) and dessert (Tiramisu or Panna Cotta). Please send your selection through with your booking email.
Complimentary Prosecco on arrival.
BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE BY 19TH MARCH 2025 $95 pp
