Hosted by Chef Joseph Antonisek, Global Executive Chef for Karma Group, this immersive evening draws inspiration from ‘Al Dente As F*CK’ by Bruna & Emanuele, a cookbook made during the pandemic as two Italian cooks began rolling pasta out of necessity and passion in the Netherlands.
The experience begins in Sarang Lounge with Venetian wines and traditional cicchetti, alongside a live fresh pasta demonstration where guests can get hands-on, rolling dough, folding tortellini, and learning the craft first-hand.
The evening then moves to diMare for a five-course small-plate tasting, inspired by the book and Chef Antonishek’s travels through Italy. Each dish is paired with a story rooted in authenticity and tradition, with optional wine pairings to complete this unique culinary experience.
