In Japan, Itameshi means “Italian food,” and at Luca, we know a lil’ something about that.

This event, Itameshi! A Tokyo/Rome Culinary Playdate, is where our popular culinary Playdates began and it sells out every year! We’re thrilled to bring back this harmonious blend of hearty Italian flavors, delicate Japanese artistry, and punchy umami for your tasting pleasure. Moreover, Itameshi! A Tokyo/Rome Culinary Playdate invites guests to celebrate flavours from both Tokyo and Rome.

First: Hamachi Crudo – Barrel Aged Soy, Mandarin Orange, Calabrian Chile
Second: Chawanmushi – Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms, Poached Egg, Parmesan Mousse
