This French Quarter gem will serve as the backdrop to a romantic and historic escapade, where guests will be transported to Italy at the height of Carnevale—where masks conceal identities, and indulgence reigns supreme.

The evening begins with a welcome aperitivo and masked mingling, setting the stage for a lavish multi-course dinner curated by Chef Matt Siliati, with inspiration drawn from regional Italian cuisine and the festive spirit of Carnevale. Each course will be paired with exquisitely crafted cocktails featuring premium Italian spirits—and other libations from around the world—designed by renowned bartenders bringing Italian tradition and modern mixology together. Each element is thoughtfully curated to celebrate Italy’s most iconic festival, so expect bold colors, rich flavors, and theatrical flair.
