Following the recent devastating earthquake in Italy, CIRA – the Council of Italian Restaurants, have organised a night of fundraising to help the survivors and families of the hundreds of people affected by the disaster.
Our chefs will prepare a three course menu from the town of Amatrice and the surrounding region of Lazio
There will also be a raffle on the evening with fantastic prizes donated by CIRA restaurants and our generous sponsors and supporters
All proceeds raised go to the Italian Red Cross to assist those in the affected regions.
For booking instructions and further information.

The Council of Italian Restaurants in Australia aims to expand Italian culinary culture, increase public knowledge of both traditional and evolving values in Italian food and encourage informed experimentation in the industry.
Due to the success of the CIRA ALMA Young Talent Award, CIRA has decided to run a second competition, ‘Cuochi si Nasce’ which will be open to chefs who are employed in an Italian restaurant. This competition will be judged at the CIRA Cooking School inNovember on the same day as the Young Talent event. These two competitions are a fantastic opportunity for chefs who have the chance to win some amazing prizes including travel and restaurant dining experiences. Please encourage all your chefs to apply – the experience of participating in itself is invaluable – the chefs will have the chance to meet and receive feedback from the chefs who will be judging the competition.
On Monday 27th October 2014 at Balla Modern Italian Restaurant the 2014 Young Talent Award Winner was announced. Congratulations to Emanuele Pagliarini from Via Alta Restaurant.
