A Taste of Westchester: NEW! Zuppa Restaurant and Lounge

Springtime Italian Fare! Downtown Yonkers is constantly evolving and this restaurant helped to spark the development of the waterfront district. Historically, it is housed in the Gazette Newspaper’s Printing Press warehouse. The decor is inspired by warm southern Italian influences including its walls made from 100-year-old bricks. Look closely as you may recognize its interior from many popular movies and television shows as they have filmed many within this beautiful space. Chefs Paskual and Edi Dedi will demonstrate how to make and appetizer of grilled eggplant timbale stuffed with Sicilian caponata. A step-by-step lesson on hand formed ravioli will have you captivated. The dough made with 00 flour, rolled out, then filled with ricotta cheese and only found in springtime fava beans (said to bring luck) thus creating fluffy pillows dressed with lemon butter broth and lemon crunch. Optional additional $20 pairs a wine selection with each course. Enjoy a classic with a discussion on panna cotta with a twist – chilled citrusy lemon custard accompanied by Italian coffee. Ask to explore their special wine cellar. Head to the river for a most delicious class – Buon Appetitto!

$25 (+ $30 sampling fee in CASH, payable to instructor; optional wine pairing additional $20). #47329
