To celebrate the restaurant’s fifth anniversary, ZUCCA’S Executive Chefs Manuel Garcia and Enrique Limardo will curate a six-course epicurean journey in Miami on April 27 and 28. The anniversary dinner party will mark five years since the restaurant opened its doors inside the historic St. Michel Hotel in the heart of Coral Gables.
The authentic six-course meal will feature the combination of Limardo’s fresh and innovative flavors with Garcia’s traditional Italian cooking, providing guests a unique opportunity to see their talents in action. Featured items by Executive Chef Limardo include a bread-basket feast with Sea Urchin Butter, Wild Porcini Soup, Cured Wagyu and Tonnato, while Executive Chef Garcia will be presenting Black Tortelli with lobster and caviar as well as Filet of Veal. The chefs will also serve Crispy Tiramisu Bomb, Guava Cheesecake and Petit Fours for dessert.
