The Italiano Presents – An Evening with Chef Joey & Mr. AZ Sports
August 29, 2026
The night opens with an elevated cocktail reception. Sip Chef Joey's Signature Negroni and Mr. AZ Sports' Signature Whistle Pig Old Fashioned, explore a selection of house wines, and indulge in a lavish artisan charcuterie display that sets the tone for what's to come. Mr. AZ Sports has been talking up restaurants all over this town, and now it's time he shows you the best of the best, one night only, at one of his favorite spots.
The main event: a curated multi-course Italian dinner served family style, showcasing The Italiano's most celebrated dishes. Savor prime Sicilian steak, eggplant tortino, jumbo shrimp fra diavolo, and lamb chops alla Calabrese, alongside Chef Tomaso's legendary sugo, 8-hour braised short ribs, meatballs and sausage, and spicy rigatoni alla vodka. And that's just the beginning… the dessert spread will have you singing in Italian.
With live music filling the room and conversation flowing as freely as the wine, this is more than a dinner. It's an evening of exceptional hospitality, memorable flavors, and the kind of night you'll be talking about long after the last course.
