Carnevale,  Carnevale and Carnevale! In Italy it's Carnevale time, 40 days before Easter the magic word is Carnevale, it's parties and it's specialites.

Carnevale is also called "Martedi' grasso" (the most famous day is the last Tuesday 40 days before Easter. It's a special day where people can enjoy the more indulgent foods before the period of lent).

Carnevale is celebrated as a huge festival all over Italy with parades, music and masks. Masks are the main attraction  for a very good Carnevale and it is undoubtedly the happiest festival of the year, the most important day for children and the most transgressive for adults.
Carnevale is the time where people put their lives on hold to laugh at themselves.

Carnevale is very famous for its 'dolci' FRAPPE, RAVIOLI, CHIACCHERE, FRITTELLE, CASTAGNOLE, STRUFFOLI , SFRAPPOLE, FRITTELLE, LATTUGHE..these are some of the best known but each region has special delicious food recipes for Carnevale. In the UK it's known as pancake day.  What is a strange is that Italians make these amazing specialities only on these days. I keep telling my mum they deserve to be on the table more often during the year but no way! Tradtion is to only eat these foods in this period and then to wait a whole year before indulging again, making the wait worthwhile.

In this dinner Stefano and I would like to bring you the atmosphere that you would find in Italy if you were there, entertwining the classic Italian dishes of Carnevale and the ever loved British pancakes.

At Stairway Kitchen you will meet other food lovers as usual and who knows maybe new frienships....Remember our policy... BYO (bring your own bottle) in other words the more you bring the more you will be drinking and... expect a lot of fun and much more than your average restaurant outing can give you.
