Dopo Ora Supper Club Series, September The Sicilian Autunno
The Dopo Ora Supper Club Series brings guests together for intimate evenings built around exceptional food, thoughtfully crafted cocktails, live music and genuine connection.
September takes us to Sicily.
The Sicilian Autunno is a four-course culinary experience inspired by the bold, rustic and coastal flavors of Sicily. Guests will move through an evening of sweet and savory Sicilian influences, fresh seafood, handmade pasta, a rich main course and an indulgent finish.
The evening's menu features:
Sicilian Caponata Agrodolce
Eggplant • Zucchini • Capers
Bucatini with Swordfish
Mint • White Wine Sauce
Braised Frenched Veal Chop
Cauliflower Risotto
Profiterole
Complementing dinner will be specially selected cocktails and mocktails inspired by the citrus, herbs and aperitivo culture of Sicily.
And throughout the evening, the Dave Doescher Trio brings live jazz into the room—creating the sophisticated soundtrack to dinner rather than turning dinner into a traditional concert.
