We are proud to announce that this year we are celebrating ten years of Del Posto. To mark the anniversary, Mario, Joe and Lidia have invited many of their friends and inspirations to Del Posto for a series of dinners and events. We are honored to ring in a decade of Del Posto in the company of those who we respect and admire.
For the first event, Lidia has invited Chef Heinz Beck of Rome’s famed La Pergola for a dinner on February 25th. Chef Heinz Beck is renowned for his modern interpretation of Italian cuisine. Under his direction, La Pergola has earned three Michelin Stars, won Wine Spectator’s Grand Award and is largely regarded as one of the best restaurants in Italy—if not the world.
The event holds particular resonance for us at Del Posto and La Pergola as we both celebrate milestones this year. In addition to our ten year anniversary, 2015 will be the tenth consecutive year La Pergola has maintained three Michelin stars. Furthermore, La Pergola’s refined service, sumptuous interiors and superlative cuisine were foundational influences when Mario, Joe and Lidia were conceptualizing Del Posto and the restaurant’s unrivalled 65,000-bottle cellar served as an inspiration for our own Hall of Wines.
To celebrate, Chef Heinz Beck will prepare an eight course dinner featuring many of his signature dishes. Beverage Directors Jeffrey Porter and Michael Greeson have chosen an exciting range of large-format wines—Magnums, Jeroboams and Rehoboams—that we have kept in the cellar for many years and are now drinking especially well.
Please join us for this one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy Chef Heinz Beck’s food as we celebrate La Pergola’s ten years of three Michelin stars and our ten year anniversary.
