#FOOD: RADICI PROJECT AND L’ANTIPASTO COLLABORATION

On Tuesday, November 24, Radici Project and L’Antipasto Ristorante will join forces for an exclusive, one-night-only Wild Game Dinner in Woodbridge, Vaughan. Bringing together Chef and Co-Founder Emiliano Del Frate of Radici Project and Chef Vincenzo La Mura of L’Antipasto, the collaboration will showcase a specially curated tasting menu celebrating the bold flavours and versatility of wild game.
Rooted in Italian culinary traditions, the evening will highlight the chefs’ distinct approaches to cuisine. La Mura’s expertise in regional Italian cooking and contemporary techniques will meet Del Frate’s globally influenced, Italian-Japanese culinary philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on seasonal ingredients and traditional flavours.

Created exclusively for the occasion, the tasting menu will showcase a selection of distinctive game ingredients, including wild Ontario venison, elk, duck and wild boar. Through thoughtful preparation, seasonal accompaniments and the creative perspectives of both chefs, the dinner will highlight the depth and character of these ingredients while offering contemporary interpretations of traditional flavours.

Complementing the menu, Julian Manley, Head Bartender of Radici Project, has developed two bespoke cocktail pairing experiences, featuring both alcoholic and non-alcoholic creations. Designed specifically for the collaboration, each pairing will complement the ingredients and flavour profiles of the dishes, bringing Radici Project’s approach to cocktails alongside the chefs’ culinary offerings.

The collaboration marks an opportunity for guests to experience the creative exchange between two kitchens, each bringing its own identity and culinary philosophy to the table. From the exploration of wild game to the specially developed cocktail program, every element of the evening has been conceived exclusively for this one-night event.
