Pertimali/Sassetti Dinner

Please join President Jack Gordon, Events Chair Gunnar Pritsch, and our special guest, Lorenzo Sassetti, for a fantastic and educational evening of fine Tuscan wine and excellent food at the exclusive L’Artusi Supper Club.

About L’Artusi Supper Club:
L’Artusi Supper Club is part of the Epicurean family of restaurants. The kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Joe Vigorito, who grew up in an Italian family, where everything centered around food. It wasn’t until Joe was at Ohio State University studying Social and Behavioral Sciences— and missing home-cooked meals—that he began to explore the culinary arts.

After graduation, Chef Joe enrolled at The French Culinary Institute and formally began his career in New York City. Since then, Joe has held roles in several of the City’s most cherished restaurants, including Morandi and Lupa. He’s also spent time in several of the Epicurean Group’s kitchens, first as the sous chef at dell’anima and later as the executive sous chef at
L’Artusi under his friend and mentor, Gabe Thompson. In 2016, Joe became the Executive Chef at L’Artusi and last year he helped open the private club where we will enjoy his thoughtfully prepared meal.
