Magnums & Movies 2019

Overview

For its latest special event, Restaurant Hubert is whisking patrons off to Italy — or, given everyone will still stay nestled in Sydney, doing the next best thing. A collaboration with Giorgio De Maria, Magnums & Movies will screen an Italian cinema classic, accompanied by plenty of wine (in magnums, of course) plus the restaurant's interpretation of Italian theatre and film snacks.

And, it'll all take place in Hubert's 120-seat Theatre Royale, to really ramp up the film-meets-dinner vibe. To assist, celebrated Roman winemaker Gianmarco Antonuzzi from Le Coste will be on hand to chat all things wine. He'll be picking the tipples as well.

As well as drinking Italian wine, and eating Italian fare, you'll also be watching the award-winning Italian film La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty), which picked up both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 2014.

Tickets don't come cheap, at $150 per head — but it's the kind of decadent evening out you don't get to enjoy every day.
