In collaboration with Masterchef judge and restaurateur Micheal Dearth (The Grove, Baduzzi), the 495 kitchen will transform into a bustling cucina, turning out steaming plates of cherished Italian classics, with a Dearth spin.
Family, community, and a passion for hospitality are central to Michael, and sit firmly at the heart of his two beloved Auckland eateries. Now, this accomplished and respected chef brings these values to F.A.W.C!
This is a shared-table dinner, with plenty of banter from both Michaels – Dearth and Henley, the 495th Master of Wine and Cellar 495 proprietor. Expect excellent food and lots of delicious wine, just like Nonna’s house. Tuck your napkin into your shirt and dig in!
