Tip to Tail Cooking Class

Can't figure out what to get Dad for Father's Day? Is he a foodie or aspiring butcher? Are you a foodie or aspiring butcher?

Then join us on Saturday, June 15th for a special Cooking Class featuring our own Executive Sous Chef Federico Fassola. Chef Freddy will be demonstrating how we put our "tip-to-tail" philosophy into action by butchering a whole hog. Included will be: techniques for fabricating chops, cuts for roasts, using the belly to make pancetta or bacon, grinding sausage, and slow rotisserie roasting. As always a lunch will be served including items in the demonstration.

Cost is $75 for the class alone or $100 for a VIP ticket that includes the price of our special Father's Day Brunch the next day. We look forward to seeing you there!

A Month of Italian Sundays

In the grand fashion of traditional Italian Sunday night dinners, Panzano is very happy to offer a special 3 course tasting menu for $35 each Sunday evening with optional wine pairings accompanying each course for $15. Each month the menu and wines will reflect a different region of the Italian culinary and oenological landscape.For May it will be Umbria.Located almost dead in the center of Italy, Umbria is an oft overlooked region for unique Italian cuisine. Framed on three sides by the Apennines Mountains, Umbria is  the only totally landlocked municipality in Italy. What it is known for,  however, are two of Italy’s hallowed treasures, some of the best and most fragrant olive oil and black truffles that are often found by the denizen’s bevy of small, pot-bellied pigs. The wine scene has taken an upturn in the past half century with many producers finding unique and different takes on what have been Tuscan traditions.  The wines we are featuring this month include a Grechetto made much in the style of a classic Orvieto and a blend of Sangiovese and a local varietal called Sangrantino.
