August Luncheon — August 24 at 12:30 — Cucina Italiana

Please RSVP to Michael 
mweldon213@yahoo.com
Phone – 4815-4660

Date: Thursday, August 24, 2017
Time: 12:30 pm
Place: SDS – Cucina Italiano – Talcahuano 475, 1er piso
Cost: 300 pesos

Tucked away on Talcahuano, behind the main court houses, is a little spot on the first floor with absolutely no signage. So far it has not been “discovered” or written up. The clientele currently are the legal professionals from the neighborhood. The genius behind the food may be familiar to some of you from a previous job where he got rave reviews as the head chef. Now, Salvatore has brought his two brothers from Italy to help out with the new venture. Everything is made on the premises or brought here from Italy!

The space itself is fairly small but does have a private room that can accommodate 20 people, that is where we will be having lunch. An early RSVP is recommended.

The menu will include pasta, of course, and other standard Italian choices. The 300 peso price includes your main course, dessert (Michael, as always, will be ordering the home-made Tiramisu) and beverage choice – wine or water, plus the tip.

Please RSVP to Michael to secure a place.

The elegant dining room on the 6th floor offers several options. The daily executive menu offers a main course that changes daily, dessert, coffee and beverage (water, soft drink or wine). There is another special which adds an appetizer and more main course choices from the a la carte menu. Pricing with tip for the first choice will be 220 pesos, the second choice is 250 pesos. The dessert choices are served from a cart that includes flan, budin de pan, fresh fruit and a few other options. Additional glasses of wine can be purchased for a reasonable 30 pesos.
Mandatory dress for this lunch will be SMART. The club has a dress code that does not allow shorts, denim, tee shirts, casual footwear, etc. On a recent visit where there were about 40 people dining, only four were not wearing jackets!
