Chef Giancarlo Morelli
from Seregno, Lombardia, Italy

RANDON SELECTION ENTRY 

One of our most beloved visiting chefs, Chef Giancarlo Morelli will visit arte italia once again this November. Known for combining classic sensibilities with contemporary charm and a cosmopolitan spirit, his cuisine is varied and follows the traditions and authentic flavors of the Lombardia region infused with his own brand of creative genius. His kitchen is part laboratory and part art studio. The Chef maintains a deep respect for seasonal, raw products of the highest quality in order to preserve the authenticity of the dish's origins.

CLASS INFORMATION
Regional chefs from Italy visit arte italia throughout the year, focusing on traditional recipes with innovative techniques. The class schedule for each day will include a mix of traditional and contemporary cuisine from the chef's region. For each culinary class, the visiting chef will prepare an authentic Italian dinner including antipasto, primo piatto, secondo piatto and dolce. 

The menus change for each class. The chefs generally include fish, poultry, meats, dairy products, garlic, herbs and olive oil in their recipes. Some recipes may include nuts.

RANDOMIZED SELECTION REGISTRATION 
Regional interest in arte italia’s culinary program has been overwhelming! Our guests are thrilled to dine in the Cucina with visiting chefs but our seating capacity is very limited. We strive to fairly allocate seating between new culinary guests and former guests that have participated in the past. We utilize a fair system of randomized selection to assign seating for each culinary class.

You may submit a request for yourself and one guest (party of two). Please provide the name of your guest at the time of random selection entry. We will notify randomly selected registrants by e-mail. Pleae do not send payment unless you have been specifically notified regarding seating selection.

Classes are held at 442 Flint Street, Reno. Parking is located at the rear of the building. Additional street parking is available on both California Avenue and Flint Street, and metered parking on surrounding streets is free after 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and all day on Sundays and holidays.

All culinary classes are recorded for archival use and future culinary instruction. Please speak quietly for the benefit of other students and video viewers, and please drink responsibly.
