TASTE OF ITALY

Taste of Italy begins with the formation of teams and some spirited activities to get the energy flowing.

Teams then compete in our “Mamma Mia” kick-off challenges, using iPads and Premier Pursuits®, our propriety app, where they attempt to earn more points than their opponents, allowing them first dibs on the pasta, ragu, and salad they’ll then prepare for consumption.

Your participants will create a homemade sauce from scratch to serve on top of their favorite pastas, accompanied by an authentic Italian-style salad.

Additionally, teams design and build a façade of the a trattoria.

Using criteria including the trattoria’s façade, complete with a “health department” cleanliness rating, name, logo, publicity presentation, and of course, presentation and taste of the culinary masterpieces, teams are judged, with the highest-scoring group taking home the gold medals.

In order to enhance the experience, many groups choose to add a selection of wines, supplied and served by the venue, to the experience.

Of course, the final stage, and often the favorite, is a “roaming” dinner, where participants meander from one trattoria to another, tasting the delectable delights they’ve just created.  Ciao!
