PERONI AMBRA AND FRANCESCO MAZZEI BRING THE ITALIAN SUMMER TRADITION OF ‘FERRAGOSTO’ TO SOMERSET HOUSE TERRACE THIS AUGUST

‘The Somerset House Terrace, Presented by Peroni Ambra’ will play host to a traditional Italian Ferragosto feast this August, as world renowned chef Francesco Mazzei (Sartoria, Mayfair) creates a one- off, group dining experience for guests.

The exclusive dining experience will take place on Sunday 13th August (12pm-3pm - £40 plus booking fee) and will form part of the ‘Discover Aperitivo with Peroni Ambra’; a series of events taking place across the summer months, to drive discovery of the new aperitivo by Peroni Nastro Azzurro.

The intimate Sunday session will celebrate Ferragosto – the Italian holiday. Italians traditionally enjoy a day off in August in celebration, where they will head to the coast to spend time with family, friends and loved ones. The holiday dates as far back as Roman times where the August period was designated as a period of rest after months of hard labour.

From 12pm – 3pm the event will raise a glass to the beginning of Italy’s famous summer period. The three - course ‘feasting’ menu will be a delectable homage to Italy and the stunning ingredients unique to the country’s rich landscape, which will perfectly complement the crisp and refreshing unique taste of Peroni Ambra.

Guests will be invited to sit together on a long banquet table to enjoy a sharing meal inspired by the traditional aperitivo moment of getting together. The feast features Francesco Mazzei’s signature cooking style and includes an impressive array of antipasti, including mortadella, ndjua and octopus salad – all presented within ‘A Spisa’ (a large picnic napkin) with the main dish consisting of an Aubergine Timbale. Dessert is a delicious pistachio cake and biscotti.

Tickets are priced at £40.00, plus booking fee. This includes a complimentary Peroni Ambra on arrival and a choice of 1 x Peroni Nastro Azzurro beverage with guests’ meal. Additional drinks may be purchased from the bar menu. A maximum of four tickets can be purchased online.
