December 15 - Season’s Seasonings in Italy – Winter
Our good friend, Stefano Poggi of Batasiolo Winery in Piemonte, took the lead in organizing this great dinner. 3 restaurants, 4+ chefs, and amazing wines including Batasiolo 2007 Barolo DOCG Briccolina are going to collaborate to put on a culinary extravaganza. Featuring: Chefs Cassineri Mario and Francesca Penoncelli from Bice San Diego ~ Chef Accursio Lota from Solare Ristorante ~ and Chef Stefano Ceresoli from Piazza 1909. This is the first in a series of events celebrating the seasons like only true, authentic Italians can. Wine and dine to your heart’s content on real Italian expressions. The menu will be finalized soon, but just to whet your appetite- the welcome appetizer will be a whole suckling pig paired with the new (unofficial launch in California) The Independent Prosecco. The dinner is $89++ and please reserve directly with Bice where our dinner will be located: (619) 239-2423.

December 09 - Italian Truffle Dinner
We are in Italian Truffle Season! We do marvelous things with white and black Italian Truffles (Tartufo!) and we are excited to do it this night. We have an amazing source for freshly foraged Italian Truffles and we will be getting them flown in just in time for the dinner. These are fresh aromatic delicious never-to-be-forgotten Italian Black and White Truffles. Chef Accursio is designing a 5-course dinner and the price is $240/person. Yes, fresh Italian Truffles are expensive – but note that we do work to keep the dinner as reasonable as possible. The expensive part is the Truffles, of course, and we do not mark them up at all. We just divide our cost by the guests attending so you can enjoy this special delicacy without breaking the bank … too much! The dinner is limited in seating and starts at 6:45pm. Truffles! ~~ Contact us for tickets. ~~ View Menu Here

October 03 - Cooking Class: Ossobuco and Risotto
For this class, you will be transported form San Diego to Lombardia, Italy, to learn how the perfect Ossobuco is made. The key to classic Ossobuco is exactly how the meat is braised, and that is one of many things you will learn from Chef Accursio. Lombardia is famous for their Ossobuco! And what does a wonderful plate of Osso Buco need? Risotto! Chef Accursio will also lead you to prepare the world’s best risotto where the rice is the prefect level of “creamy-ness” but the kernels are still whole and firm. This is great risotto – but it is not easy to make – unless you join this class! The fun starts at 10:30am at Solare with an Italian-style coffee of your choice and a pastry. Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”. – Limit 10 – $75/student that includes the class, wine, and lunch. Contact us for details.
