Help us celebrate our 20th anniversary! Sunday, February 12th is our Anniversary Alumni Dinner featuring a ‘who’s who’ of local chefs and beverage masters. Appearing in owner Peter Kasperski’s restaurants over the past 20 years, some of the featured chefs include Gio Osso (Virtu and Nico), Nobuo Fukuda (Nobuo at Teeter House) Keenan Bosworth (Pig & Pickle), Country Velador (Super Chunk Sweets & Treats) and Ciao's own Lester Gonzalez. Big names behind the stick include mixologist Richie Moe and Keifer Gilbert. This lineup of famed local talent will collaborate to present a 5-course meal with beverage pairings for guests. The evening starts with a 6:30pm reception and dinner beginning at 7pm. Tickets are $150 per person (includes wine pairings) or $125 (includes cocktail pairings). Reservations are required-please call (480)946-3111.
