Just DM me. 📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬.

**This Sunday we’re doing something special.** A **homemade Italian gourmet lunch** in a private home near **Plasky / Schaerbeek**, with a maximum of **10 lunch guests** for a warm, seated, convivial experience. Restaurant-style **quality**, family-style **atmosphere**. ## **What Makes It Special** The meats are sourced from the well-known **Roland Butcher in Ixelles**, respected locally for quality cuts. Several dishes are prepared using **Anova precision sous-vide cooking**: food is vacuum-sealed and cooked slowly at exact temperatures for tenderness, juiciness, and consistency, then finished with a proper sear in a **stainless steel pan** for flavour and crust. In short: old-school ingredients and traditions, modern technique, serious results. Nonna 2.0 *** ## **The Menu (Explained for Non-Italians)** ### **Antipasto (starter)** **Vitello Tonnato** A classic dish from Piedmont in northern Italy. Thin slices of cold veal topped with a silky tuna-caper sauce. Sounds unusual to some people, tastes excellent. **Italian Cheese & Charcuterie Board** Selection of cheeses and cured meats such as salami, prosciutto, and porchetta (slow-roasted seasoned pork). *** ### **Primo (first course - pasta)** **Homemade Gnocchi alla Sorrentina** Soft potato dumplings baked with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan. Paradise food from southern Italy. **Homemade Fettuccine with Lamb Ragù** Fresh ribbon pasta served with a rich slow-cooked lamb sauce. *** ### **Secondo (main course)** **Cotoletta alla Milanese** A Milan classic: breaded veal cutlet, pan-fried in butter until golden and crisp. **Brasato di Manzo al Red Wine** Beef slowly braised for 6 hours in red wine with vegetables and herbs until tender enough to surrender completely. *** ### **Contorni (side dishes)** **Homemade Mashed Potatoes with Black Truffle** Creamy mash finished with truffle. **Italian Salad** Fresh seasonal salad to balance the glorious excess. *** ### **Dolce (dessert)** **Homemade Strawberry Tiramisù** Italian layered dessert with mascarpone cream, coffee-soaked biscuits, and a fresh strawberry twist. *** ### **Drinks Included** 🍾 Prosecco 🍷 Wines: Lambrusco, Chianti, Barolo ☕ Espresso 🍋 Limoncello 🥃 Amaro *** ## **The Space** Private home with a **garden** where we can enjoy a drink in the sun (weather permitting), or move inside if Brussels behaves like Brussels. *** ## **After Lunch** Games and social afternoon: • UNO • Assassin • Undercover From **3 PM onward**, more vetted Club members can join, up to **20 total guests**. *** ## **Community Standards** **All members are vetted.** The host **personally** introduces newcomers so nobody is left awkwardly orbiting the room. **Zero tolerance for creepy or pushy behaviour. Immediate removal if needed. Some groups normalize nonsense. We don’t.** *** ## **Practical Info** • Lunch seats limited to **10** • Total after 3 PM capped at **20** • Exact address shared privately with confirmed guests • RSVP only if genuinely attending ## **Contribution** **€50 per lunch guest** A proper Sunday meal, proper company, proper standards. Rare combination.
