After last weekend’s beautiful weather, I wanted to do something special to help Torontonians come out of hibernation after what seemed like “the longest winter of all time”. In order to help get you out of the house and back into the world, I have decided to give away a ticket to the upcoming Italian Supper Club Event hosted by the awesome ladies at Hip and Urban Girl.
The co-ed event, which takes place on May 12th will allow guests to enjoy a 7-course family-style dinner with new friends over a couple bottles of OPEN wine . Ask Chef Massimo Bruno any questions you have about cooking Italian food, making pasta from scratch and watch the whole process from start to finish.
Tickets for this co-ed event are limited to thirty and they are selling out quickly. Here’s your chance to win a seat and be part of the fun.
