World To Table 2

Delta & Amex partnered with renowned Italian Chef Stefano Secchi for an unforgettable dining experience inspired by his Nonna’s home cooking in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.

From the decor to rich kitchen aromas, our guests will feel like they’ve traveled to chef’s family home for a personal, intimate, home-cooked dinner. We took over an Upper East Side Mansion that had stunning interiors, lavish finishes like marble floors and walls and a gorgeous outdoor terrace space. To transform the space, we enhanced the venue’s features through curated decor with a mixture of Italian antiques paired with modern luxury and complimentary materials to transport and immerse guests in what feels like authentic Italian home. Our space felt like it had been curated overtime with Nonna’s hand-me-downs and family heirlooms.

Guest got a welcoming experience where they could get a freshly shaved prosciutto, listen to opera in the terrace garden, learn how to style silk scarves and get a one-on-one hands-on pasta demonstration by our chef. Throughout the space were handwritten, personal notes from chef, reminiscing on his childhood memories and his love for food. It truly felt like you had been authentically welcomed into the chef’s family home.
