La Serata – An evening on the water with Giovanni Pilu, presented by Maserati
Join us on an exclusive luxury glass boat for dinner with Giovanni Pilu as he trades Freshwater for saltwater – and we set sail around Sydney Harbour at sunset (‘la serata’ in Italian). Giovanni has created an opulent four-course menu inspired by the flavours of Bologna; the birthplace of Maserati. During the evening, Maserati’s brand new GranTurismo will be revealed. This is an evening where slow food meets fast cars on a lavish cruise.
The Good Food Events floating restaurant has three decks, all with 360-degree views. Start your journey with Champagne and canapés on the chic lounge deck as we depart Barangaroo and head for the most enviable anchoring on the harbour. Dinner will be held in the great hall, served with beautiful Italian wines that have been selected by Giovanni’s sommelier just for the occasion.
The event is about unapologetically revelling in Italian audacity. The combination of the food, the wine, the appreciation of nature, the glamour, and the Maserati GranTurismo is a tribute to the cultural, historical and artistic heritage of Bologna.
Giovanni Pilu is the Sardinian-born chef of two hat masterpiece Pilu at Freshwater. Please see below for his extravagant menu for La Serata.
