The season starts here. Join Adele and guest pastaia Carmela Sereno Hayes (from Carmela's Kitchen) for a Sicilian evening with Prosecco in hand, flour on the table and four courses to finish. You'll twist busiate, the Trapani pasta shaped around a thin rod, and watch pesto alla trapanese made with almonds and tomato. Then we sit down at one long table, and Sicilian cannoli close the night. Proudly sponsored by Filippo Berio.

Come with friends or join on your own: perfect for food lovers, friends, couples, or anyone solo who loves authentic Italian cooking and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! Great to be gifted as a special experience to share, a birthday present or a unique Christmas present.

FAQs

What is busiate?

Busiate is a twisted Sicilian pasta from Trapani, rolled by hand around a thin rod. Its spiral shape holds pesto alla trapanese perfectly.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Many guests book solo, and everyone sits together at one table.
