Introducing Dine Afro Italo Supper Club

kickstarted the Dine Afro Italo Supper Club On January 28th 2024. An intimate dining experience where I invite guests to have a taste of my Afro-Italian dishes. Each dish tells a story of my love for Nigerian flavours, Italian techniques and the art of building connections through food. The evening features a 3-course menu with live cooking experience, a signature cocktail and a glass of wine.
