Local budding chefs and lovers of Italian food will have a rare opportunity to dine with Antonio on a large feasting table sharing in the dishes and his many stories and anecdotes from writing and filming Two Greedy Italians with co-author Gennaro Contaldo.

Antonio will entertain diners with his cheeky Italian charm, as guests indulge in antipasto paired with Santo Stefano Prosecco, linguine with mussels and prawns matched with Ventian Bertani Due Uve Bianco, followed by a tasty ricotta and lemon tart served alongside Moscato D’Asti.

At the end of the lunch, guests can purchase their own copy of Two Greedy Italians at a specially discounted price of £15 and have it personally signed by the godfather of Italian cooking himself. Tickets are just £35 per person and can be booked directly with the Milton Kenyes caffè on 01908 234 025. Check out www.carluccios.com for more information.
