THE ITALIAN GRAND EVENING IN MEMORY OF ANGELO FIRPO
Surely one of the most extraordinary @gormeihk events , involving an orchestration of food, wine and music against a backdrop of history and heritage.
Each course of the classical Angelo Firpo inspired menu cooked by The Oberoi Grand Executive Chef Praful Aina, reminiscent of the haute cuisine menus served at legendary Firpo’s restaurant in Calcutta in early and mid 20th century, was paired with a distinguished Italian wine curated by Sommelier Giulia Biscontin and a classical music piece performed by the Calcutta School of Music quartet.
