SUMMARY:The Last Days of Pompeii Night Cooking Experience
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nAn Ancient Roman Cooking Class\nStep back in time for an evening of ancient flavors and timeless romance as we commemorate the final days of Pompeii with a hands-on culinary experience inspired by the foods of the Roman Empire. Imagine dining in a villa overlooking the Bay of Naples\, surrounded by candlelight and conversation\, as you savor dishes drawn directly from archaeological research and historical texts. This unique evening allows you to taste the very foods enjoyed by citizens of Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius forever changed their world. \nThe menu brings the past vividly to life with elegant simplicity and bold flavors. We’ll begin with stuffed dates and figs\, a delicacy enjoyed by Roman elites\, followed by herbed ricotta with honey and walnuts and panis quadratus\, the Roman-style bread famously found carbonized in the ruins of Pompeii. Next\, sample coriander-scented chickpeas\, a nod to the ubiquitous street food of the time\, before moving on to house-made Lucanian pork sausage\, adapted from the two-thousand-year-old cookbook of Apicius. A smooth parsnip purée accompanies the savory spread. Finally\, for dessert\, we’ll prepare pear patina\, a delicately spiced custard beloved in the ancient world. \nHeld on the (probable) anniversary of Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in AD 79\, this immersive date night offers more than just a meal—it’s a journey into history\, culture\, and flavor. Whether you’re a history buff\, a foodie\, or simply in search of a truly one-of-a-kind evening\, join us to taste the romance and richness of ancient Rome—one course at a time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBYOB \n  \nWe suggest an Italian white wine\, like a Falanghina\, ancient Aglianico\, or Vermentino.  \n\n\n\n\n  \nADMIT TWO \n  \nEach ticket admits two people! You don’t have to bring a romantic partner; friends\, gal pals\, adult kids\, parents\, anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with is great! \n\n\n\n\n  \nRules & Policies \n  \nComplete Event & Ticket Policies can be found here. Please read them!  \n\n\n\n\n  \nHave More Questions? \n  \nCheck our FAQ\, and then send us a message if you still have questions!
