The high-energy Italian feast is inspired by late-night aperitivo culture and Italo Disco dance floors.

It’s a Dine Out disco at Gertrude Street restaurant Rocco’s. For one night only, Broadsheet writer and proud cook Sebastian Pasinetti is drawing on his Calabrian heritage to serve a four-course set menu that’s punchy, playful and perfect for a party.

Expect plenty of Italian wine and cocktails poured generously all night, disco on the speakers and service that’s less of a sit-down dinner and more like a supper party. Dishes lean into bold, southern Italian flavours, balancing richness with a healthy dose of acidity. Pour a spritz and make some new friends.
