Our longtime friend and Guest Chef Roberto Donna, having unexpectedly an engagement in Italy, Palladio's Chef Melissa Close has created a superb new menu for our Spring Feast on April 7th, drawing on her own many stagings in extraordinary kitchens of Italy through the years. Luca will co-host the Luncheon in our Piemonte Arcades, honoring also the new Vintage Rosé of 2006 and the Monticello Cup-winning Octagon 2004.

Probably not since Leonard Bernstein was famously given one day's notice to conduct the New York Philharmonic on the sudden inconvenience of Arturo Toscanini, has such a happy
substitution been found.
