THE BUZZ @MISSION WINES

CENTO PASTA BAR COMES TO MISSION WINES!

I recently visited Mignon, a very charming wine bar in downtown Los Angeles where a young chef by the name of Avner Levi is serving some outstanding fresh pasta dishes. Previously a pasta cook at two of Los Angeles' most popular Italian restaurants, Bestia and Sotto, Avner has branched out on his own, teaming up with Mignon owner Santos Uy (who also owns Papilles in Hollywood) to create "Cento Pasta Bar", a pop-up lunch residency featuring fresh pastas and sauces at Uy's Mignon. A blend of alta cucina (fine Italian dining) and cucina povera (peasant cooking) is their focus, with the goal being high quality, chef-driven pasta dishes at affordable prices.

We are excited to be collaborating with Santos and Avner on our first food pop-up event of 2016! On Friday, February 19th, a Cento Pasta Bar Pop Up is coming to Mission Wines for a fun evening of pasta, wine and culinary education. Not only will ticket holders sample some of the Cento menu offerings paired with Italian wines to match, but Avner will also be demonstrating how to make his pillowy gnocchi...and cook it fresh for you to eat! PLUS he will be serving two additional pasta dishes for which he is rapidly gaining fame. This is a tasting event not to be missed! 

Capacity is limited with advanced ticket purchase required. Register early to ensure your spot!
