Cecconi's at The Ned Nomad is celebrating Italy’s rich culinary traditions one region at a time with their four-part A Tavola dinner series. The restaurant’s Executive Chef Luca Capasso has invited a guest chef from a specific region of Italy for a festive, one-night collaboration, bringing hyper-local flavors and heritage dishes straight to the Big Apple.
On Monday, June 23, classic dishes of the Umbrian kitchen will be served when guest chef Andrea Palumbo of Collins Restaurant at Sina Brufani, a five-star hotel located in the heart of Perugia, will prepare an authentic six-course menu. Known as Italy’s green heart, you’ll be transported to Umbria’s fertile valleys to sample tortelloni alla Norcina, delicate pasta stuffed with pork sausage, ricotta, and grated black truffle, and ‘mbrecciata, a time-tested soup made with beans and ancient grains such as farro and spelt.
The series take a break for summer with the third dinner set for Monday, September 22, and the final dinner scheduled for Monday, November 24. The regions that will be represented have yet to be announced.
