Amalfi Ristorante Invites Wine Lovers to Explore Campania with a Special Six-Course Dinner

The inspired menu at Amalfi emphasizes fresh seafood and, on right, Giancarlo Ferrara

THIS WEDNESDAY, AMALFI Ristorante will transport guests to the sun-soaked shores of Southern Italy’s Campania region, home to the glamorous island of Capri, with a six-course dinner. The menu, curated by Executive Chef Giancarlo Ferrara, will be paired with wines from Agricola Bellaria Winery, one of Campania’s most celebrated estates.


Founded by Antonio Pepe, a third-generation grape-grower, Agricola Bellaria began its journey in 2002 as an olive oil producer before expanding into wine production in 2008. Today, the winery has earned accolades from competitions, including Decanter, the International Wine Challenge in London, and the Los Angeles Wine Competition. Pepe himself will be on hand to share the story behind the winery and its award-winning wines.

For his part, Chef Ferrara grew up on the Amalfi coast as the youngest of seven children, and often helped his mother in the kitchen. He experience spans the globe, including a stint at the Michelin-starred Patrick Guilbaud in Dublin.

On the menu, expect hand-cut fresh pasta, suckling pig and strip loin from a wood-burning oven. Tickets are $155/person; reservations can be made by calling 713.532.2201

So, combining my passion with a vision to bring an authentic yet luxurious Hammam spa experience to Houston, I took the leap less than two years ago to open my own spa.
