Description

Longtime co-chefs and business partners Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer have just opened a new coastal Italian restaurant to rave reviews and this February, they’re letting us have a little taste of their mouthwatering menu! That’s right – the James Beard Award-winning duo behind the Boston-based restaurants Toro, Coppa, and Little Donkey will spotlight some of the seasonal dishes that inspired their latest concept – Faccia Brutta (Italian for “ugly face”) – which draws inspiration from their extensive travels across Liguria, Sicily, Sardinia, and more. Expect fresh seafood and a luscious pasta or two at this sensational SOBEWFF® dinner taking place at Osteria Morini, the charming Altamarea Group restaurant tucked inside the Kimpton Hotel Palomar. With skillful support from Osteria Morini’s Executive Chef, Bill Dorrler and sumptuous wines from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio, you’re almost certain to find yourself transported to a postcard-perfect island along the Mediterranean Sea.
