Bucci Restaurant & Bar will have you jet-setting your palette to nine Italian food regions between February and November through their Vacation Series lunches.
Veneto, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily, Tuscany, Sardinia, Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy are the culinary destinations on this year’s Vacation Series calendar and one of the best value lunch offerings in Brisbane with three courses $36, two courses $30 or $24 for a main.
Bucci Restaurant and Bar’s Event Manager Sabrina Judge says Italian cuisine is arguably the most famous in the world and that each Vacation Series offering was a chance to experience a different region of Italy each month.
Today I was treated to the first Veneto region menu which was filled with regional favourites including Italian risotto, amazing salmon and devine desserts.
In a nod to the Italian love of a Sunday lunch shared with family and friends, each new Vacation Series region will be officially launched with a very Italian Sunday celebration of food, wine, music and adventure known as Bucci’s ‘Sunday Series’. Guests will enjoy eight shared dishes from each region and a glass of prosecco for $55.
