Thatza Mighty Spicy Meatball!!! :: Special Wine Dinner, Boston

Boston’s Via Matta Restaurant hosts Chef Mark Strausman and famed restauranteur Pino Luongo for a very Special Wine Dinner and reception on October 11th — which sounds like a whole lotta fun! It’s in support of the release of their new book, “Two Meatballs in the Kitchen.�?

Though Pino Luongo (the big guy) and Mark Strausman (the not-so -big guy) have been good friends and successful restaurant partners for years, they’ve spent decades arguing the merits of everything from ingredients to techniques and presentation, always with the goal of getting the very best out of Italy’s amazing cuisine. (Hey-no throwing those meatballs!)

On October 11, 2007, the award-winning Via Matta restaurant and long-time friend, Chef Michael Schlow, will host a dinner with the authors featuring selections from their new book paired with wines from Banfi Wines.
