Tickets are $129 per person plus tax, offering diners a chance to experience a true taste of the Eternal City, no passport required.
Kobe Japanese Steakhouse
Starting September 1, Kobe Japanese Steakhouse invites guests to explore the art and heritage of Japanese brewing with the launch of its new premium sake program. Curated to showcase some of Japan’s most esteemed breweries, the collection highlights rare and award-winning Junmai, Ginjo, and Dai-Ginjo varieties that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and tradition. From the melon and berry notes of Oku No Matsu from Fukushima, to the refined floral elegance of Hakutsuru Nishiki from Hyogo, each sake tells a unique regional story and offers a distinct sensory journey. Designed to pair beautifully with Kobe’s signature teppanyaki experience, the program provides guests with an elevated way to enjoy one of Japan’s most celebrated beverages.
Italian Kitchen
Discover the soul of Sicily at Italian Kitchen, where Chef Matteo and his team take guests on a culinary journey through the island’s bold and sun-drenched flavours. The menu celebrates Sicilian tradition with dishes like Nodi Marini alla Norma, a comforting pasta layered with eggplant, tomato, and ricotta salata; Clam Mezze Maniche alla Diavola, featuring manila clams and nduja for a spicy kick; and Pesce Spada alla Griglia, a swordfish steak finished with bright Mediterranean accompaniments. For a show-stopping highlight, the Spaghettoni Aragosta Oreganata pairs fresh Atlantic lobster with lemon, garlic, and a rich lobster bisque. Each dish is thoughtfully complemented with regional Italian wines, creating an authentic taste of Sicily, one plate at a time.
