Overview
Ragazzi is bringing all things Piedmont to the Sydney CBD on Sunday, June 25, with an exclusive lunch offering inspired by the northern Italian region as a new addition to their 'Avventura' lunch series.
Like all good Italian celebrations it will be a collaborative affair and see the Ragazzi team link up with terrific new Fitzroy joint Alta Trattoria and wine importer Giorgio De Maria for a day dedicated to everything Piedmontese.
Alta Trattoria's Restaurant Manager Luke Drum, sommelier James Tait and Head Chef McKay Wilday, who will be descending upon Angel Place for a kitchen takeover that promises dishes like ravioli del plin with braised beef, and tajarin with shaved black perigord truffles sourced from WA's Truffle Hill. You can also expect to find truffles on show with the barbargiuan — truffle-filled Ligurian fritters.
Giorgio De Maria will be pouring some of his personal favourite Piedmontese drops. You can expect to see a radical Moscato from Ezio Cerruti, Rinaldi's 2019 Freisa and Cappellano's Pie' Franco — Barolo's acclaimed offering, all of which will be available by the glass and by the bottle.
And for those who would rather just sit back and let the magic unfold, minimal decisions required, there's a very reasonable $80 wine pairing available. This offering stars an aperitif, an organic Cortese, a celebrated Nebbiolo from Barbaresco and sips from Barolo – all sourced from Piedmont.
If you are planning to attend, be sure to get in quick — bookings are extremely limited. Secure your spot through the event's ticket link.
