Vivace's Annual Long Lunch

Overview

As a graduate of Lorenza di Medici's cooking school in Chianti, Paolo Pancotti is well versed in the secrets of authentic regional Italian cuisine. For his appearance at Auckland Restaurant Month, the chef will bring back the ever-popular Tuscan grill menu at inner city bistro Vivace. The cooking technique utilises a sturdy metal grate over a fire, infusing smoky, charcoal flavours into dishes.

The five-course long lunch will start with a drink on arrival followed by delights including traditional antipasti, pumpkin tortelli, slow braised lamb and nutmeg apple cake. To make a booking, call the restaurant on 09 302 2303.
