The Essence of Serate di Vino

Serate di Vino, meaning Evenings of Wine, was inspired by the wish to offer a truly exquisite fine dining and wine food pairing experience in LA. As a modern high-end Italian restaurant embodying European sophistication, our offerings couldn’t be deemed complete without a dedicated evening reserved for wine lovers or guests keen on enjoying a special date night activity.

Our evenings of wine also showcase the significance of wine in Italian culture. A glass of the finest Italian wine represents the history, landscape, cultural traditions (dating back to the Roman empire), and notable developments such as maritime trade during the Renaissance period. Not to mention the level of care and passion that goes into making the finest Italian wines. Furthermore, wine has been viewed in many cultures (including Italian culture) as a means of communicating with the Gods.

This is precisely why the consumption of wine was reserved for nobles like priests and kings, and designated for special occasions/celebrations. As a result, wine isn't just a drink in Italian culture. It is arguably one of the best ways of elevating any experience, but more so a dining experience.

Wine also has significance as a meal enhancer and a perfect bridge between courses at Italian dinner tables. Wine cleanses the palate and prepares the taste buds for the next course. As an enhancer, wine has the unique ability to boost flavors in food. When paired perfectly, it can elevate a dish to new levels, highlighting simple ingredients and blending flavors perfectly together. This is something we know all too well here at Sparrow Italia.

A Culinary Symphony

To ensure we offer the best food and wine pairing experience possible, we have a special four-course menu for our evening of wine that is exclusive to this offering.

The Serate di Vino menu is a product of meticulous crafting by Sparrow Italia’s very own executive chef, Joana Cruz. Her creativity and originality in each dish are unrivaled. Most importantly, each dish has been crafted to ensure it complements the paired wine.

The pre-set 4-course Serate di Vino menu includes a beef tartare appetizer dubbed "Apperitivi". This delicious light dish features one of the most exquisite meats in the world - wagyu beef, alongside brioche toast, and cured egg yolk snow. The dish has been accompanied by white wine - Perticaia Trebbiano Spoletino (2021), which pairs perfectly with appetizers.

The beef tartare is followed by a delicious Italian-style Octopus dish - Octopus Carpaccio. This first dish (“Primi”) is served with a tasty citrus dressing, spicy sauce, and a flavor enhancer. This dish is paired with the perfect white wine choice of the day to add freshness and finesse.

The second dish is composed of a delicious serving of Duck Confit prepared using age-old European preparation methods to make the meat tender and give it a crisp golden finish. This dish is paired perfectly with a fruity red wine choice of the day to balance out the fattiness of the duck.

For dessert, enjoy some Crème Brûlée, a creamy pudding-like custard (baked) and topped with honey and lavender glazed strawberries. We pair this with rose, preferably with fruity aromas to complement the dessert ingredients.

Our Serate di Vino menu doesn’t change. However, there are different selections of wines on offer, with each course having its own special wine pairing. If you find one of the glasses irresistible, you are free to buy an entire bottle and take it home. Buy your favorite bottles (two or more) and get a mix-and-match box set.
