The Italian wine maestro behind Shoreditch’s Passione Vino is making his much-anticipated return to the Quayside and bringing with him some fantastic pours. We’ll be cooking a five course menu to accompany them.
An old friend of St. Vincent, Luca is best described as larger than life — a natural storyteller whose passion for small, independent Italian producers is impossible to ignore. His energy fills a room, his generosity overflows from the glass and his deep respect for growers who farm responsibly shines through in every bottle he pours.
Often called a “wine sage and host extraordinaire,” Luca brings warmth, wit and a touch of theatre to everything he does. When he’s not criss-crossing Italy in search of the next great pour, he can be found at his Shoreditch wine shop and bar, Passione Vino — described by the Financial Times as “an escapist fantasy,” its walls lined with Italian bottles, floral wallpaper and secret rooms filled with hanging salami.
Luca will be bringing some of his favourite bottles and we’ll be cooking a five course menu to accompany them.
We know this collaboration will sell-out quickly, so get on the group chat to your mates and book your table.
