Messina x Saturday Night Pasta
TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT - ADD YOUR NAME TO WAITLIST
To celebrate the launch of Saturday Night Pastaโs brand new range, weโre setting one long table right down the middle of our gelato factory, and youโre invited to join us for dinner.
This is not your Nonnaโs dinner. Unless your Nonna also invites Shadow Baking, Gold Street Dairy, Erin Bar and Restaurant, In The Round House, Salumi Australia, DRNKS, andย Byroncello to her table (in which case...can we come to your Nonna's next dinner?).
We'll be serving dinner family-style, with the table decked out by our friends atย In The Round House, and the sultry sounds of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra floating through the space to set the tone.
The night kicks off with a glass of something bubbly and a grazing board piled high withย Salumi Australia cured meats, pickles from our very own Erin Restaurant, and grilled curd from Gold Street Dairy (made with milk from our jersey herd) and drizzled with our house honey.
Then come the pasta bowls, tossed withย Saturday Night Pasta's new Some Like It Hot sauce, topped with our jersey milk ricotta and lemon pangrattato. After that, weโre bringing out our Messina family ragu, a rich mix of polpette, cotica di maiale and salsiccia, slow-cooked in Saturday Night Pastaโs Red Red Wine sauce. Weโll be serving it with Shadow Bakingโs cult hot honey focaccia (for optimal sauce mopping) and a bowl of green salad to keep things balanced.
For dessert, weโre putting on a bit of a show. Crostatas, bowls of zabaglione and tiramisu, with gelato and hot dulce de leche poured tableside.
DRNKS will keep the wine flowing all night, finishing with a toast ofย Byroncello, a handcrafted limoncello from the Byron Bay hinterland.
And yes, youโll head home with a little something too,ย a take-home pack featuring Saturday Night Pastaโs new pasta and sauce, plus a limited-edition tote made just for the night.
