A Luxe Dinner Celebrating the Culinary Icon’s Decades-Long Legacy
On this special night, chef Paul Bartolotta—a two-time James Beard Award winner® and six-time James Beard Award nominee®—will share his passion for Italian cuisine with a dazzling display of decadence starring truffles. For more than 30 years, Bartolotta has continued to redefine Italian dining in America. Trained in the kitchens of Italy and France, he returned to New York to open the iconic San Domenico, earning a three-star review from The New York Times at age 24. He went on to lead Chicago’s landmark Spiaggia and create Las Vegas’s acclaimed Ristorante di Mare, always championing authentic regional traditions. Now at the helm of Milwaukee’s Bartolotta Restaurants, Bartolotta continues to shape how Americans experience Italian cuisine.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
