This past week we experienced everything Italian, just in time for next week’s VinItaly. From the organic Italian specialties from Giancarla Bodoni at Escopazzo to the buzzing bar area at Bice in Palm Beach, our members were glowing with food fantasies.
Chef Giancarla Bedoni and Jen Weiss
Tuesday, we stopped at Escopazzo — recently voted one of the Top Ten Most Important Restaurants of the Decade by Lee Klein of Miami New Times. We were treated like royalty while we were there, and spoiled with generous amounts celeriac and potato pancakes with apple and onion compote, pancetta crisps, fontina and mushroom palmiers and more — each bursting with flavor, thus, making for some extremely happy guests.
Pasqua Pinot Grigio and Garganega 2007 and Fattoria Montellori Chianti DOCG 2005
To pair with these sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, International Wine Imports supplied us with some beautiful wines, and joined us in the festivities. With all of the new, hip restaurants opening up everyday sometimes the established ones get forgotten about, but Escopazzo is definitely back on our radar — as they know how to serve flavorful cuisine in a lovely atmosphere with a staff that is knowledgeable, genuine and completes that fine dining experience. If you’d like to check out some more photos from our event, join our facebook page or you can see a slideshow here.
Escopazzo is located at 1311 Washington Ave on South Beach. 305-674-9450
Wednesday meant it was time to head up to Palm Beach, and this week’s event led us to Bice. The evening was filled with new faces, Italian treats and great energy – an ideal way to get us past the mid-week.
Once again, we were treated kindly, and enjoyed an night out Bice-style. As our event finished up, we quickly learned that Bice brings in a lively crowd, and that it is a perfect destination to gather on Wednesday nights around 9:00 pm for live music. Bice is located at 313 1/2 Worth Ave in Palm Beach.
Thank you to everyone who came out this week and we hope to see you next week at The News Lounge on Tuesday, and at McCormick & Schmick’s in West Palm Beach on Wednesday evening.
