World Lasagne Day at Grossi Florentino

Overview

The cold weather has well and truly descended on Melbourne. Fortunately, staying warm is a little easier when you have a big plate of steaming hot lasagne to feast on.

And with World Lasagne Day just around the corner on Saturday, July 26, you've got the best excuse to carb load. To celebrate the occasion, Grossi Florentino is getting in the mood with a long lunch that will keep the chill at bay and ensure you pay tribute to the iconic dish.

From 12.30–3pm, the restaurant is offering generous portions of house-made lasagne, brimming with slow-cooked ragu, fresh pasta sheets and creamy bechamel sauce — served tableside, straight from the tray. Yet this lunch goes further, with antipasti and a slice of tiramisu rounding out the celebration.

What's more, accordion tunes throughout the afternoon will add to the atmosphere, helping to make this Italian feast even more festive. At $75 per person, it won't be hard to convince your amici to get involved in this lasagne-led banquet.
