February 28, 7:00 P.M. Dinner: A Taste of Cilento: The Birthplace of the Mediterranean Diet

Join Chef Mario Stellato to Celebrate Southern Italy’s Most Exciting Region

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

In the 1950s, an American physiologist living on the Cilento coast in southern Italy took note of the extraordinary health and longevity of the people who lived there. The "Mediterranean Diet" was spawned and health researchers continue to be fascinated by Cilento. Join us for a special evening with chef Mario Stellato of Pietre who will craft a stunning five-course dinner that tells the story of an ancient land that continues to be re-imagined in modern and innovative culinary ways.
