Guests will pamper their palettes with a five-course Neapolitan dinner each paired with a different wine to compliment and reflect the character of the menu. Patrons will learn about the dining and tasting selections from A Mano’s owner Fred Mortati and Alba Vineyard’s owner and winemaker. Courses include:

Mozzarella Caprese – housemade mozzarella, tomatoes and fresh basil, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil

Fresca Salad – baby arugula, shaved parmigiano reggiano and cherry tomatoes with a balsamic glaze

Braised Beef Ravioli – ravioli filled with slowly braised braised short rib, topped with a truffle-butter sauce

Butternut Squash Pizza – wood-fired pizza topped with roasted butternut squash puree, caramelized onions, crispy pancetta, spinach, homemade mozzarella and gruyere

Chocolate-Hazelnut Tiramisu – ladyfingers, espresso, chocolate/hazelnut mousse and mascarpone

The dinner is $50 per person (tax and gratuity additional. Adults 21+ only) and via reservation only which can be made by calling A Mano at (201) 493-2000. Patrons who do not wish to attend the tasting dinner can enjoy regular service during the event.
