A Taste of Tuscany-A Gastronomic Event
prepared by
Chef Stefano Azzi of Osteria Del Coro in Siena, Italy
Wednesday, May 9th
at
Sotto Sopra Restaurant, 405 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201
Award-winning Chef Azzi will be in the kitchen preparing a true
Tuscan dinner, using age-old Sienese recipes. A recent recipient of Fodor’s Star award, you will find Osteria Del Coro involved in all things culinary in Siena, Italy from the Presidio Slow Food to Girogustando.
Executive chef and proprietor of Sotto Sopra, Riccardo Bosio was so impressed with Azzi’s cuisine when he dined there last summer he dreamed of bring him to the U.S. The dream has come true with Bosio underwriting Azzi’s travel along with the collaboration of the Italian Cultural Center of Maryland and patronage of the Italian Consulate of Baltimore. Chef Azzi will be in Baltimore at Sotto Sopra Restaurant for a limited visit and gastronomic gathering. Bosio is expecting a large turn out from the Italian community both here and Washington.
