Long Table Dinner – La Tavola Italiana
Long Table Dinner – La Tavola Italiana
Saturday, June 27 at 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
An Evening of Food, Drink & Community
La Tavola Italiana is the second instalment of our Long Table Dinner series at Vice & Virtue Brewing – a monthly communal dining experience centered around exceptional food, thoughtful beer & wine pairings, and great company.
This edition celebrates the beauty and simplicity of Italian cuisine, bringing people together over shared plates and meaningful conversation.
Expect a family-style, multi-course dinner designed to showcase the harmony of food and beverage at the table. This experience is elevated through a special collaboration with Matthew Fortuna, Winemaker at 50th Parallel Estate Winery, featuring expertly curated wine pairings for each course.
Tentative Menu (subject to change based on seasonal ingredient availability):
- Focaccia with anchovy butter
- Farm-fresh vegetable crudité with bagna cauda
- Mortadella with pistachios, honey, and olive oil
- Octopus gnocchi
- Herb-crusted roasted lamb rack with puttanesca sauce
- Limoncello semifreddo
The night is all about connection – a long table, shared plates, flowing conversation, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a longtime regular, a craft beer or wine enthusiast, or just someone who loves a memorable meal, this is an evening meant to be enjoyed slowly and together.
Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or accessibility requirements when making your reservation — we’ll do our best to accommodate.
