PICACHEF IN ROME

CIAO BELLA!

On Thursday, September 4, 2025, our Culinary and Baking & Pastry students, with their Chef-Instructors, Ben Kiely and Patrice Cordier, will transport you to the Eternal City with a one-night-only Rome-inspired pop-up dinner.

This multi-course menu celebrates the bold simplicity of Roman cuisine—seasonal ingredients, time-honoured techniques, and that irresistible balance of rustic and refined.

This will be a one night only dining experience. Come hungry. Mangia Mangia!
