Dinner Under The Stars

Dinner Under the Stars is a signature event during the Denver Food and Wine Festival in September, which gives attendees the chance to dine under a constellation-studded night sky and taste dishes from some of Denver’s culinary stars. The 2019 dinner was hosted by Marta Biasotti, the executive chef at LIBERATI Restaurant & Brewery, and included a five-course urban farm dinner featuring Italian cuisine with wine pairings. Guests enjoyed antipasto and entrée courses by Biasotti, an amuse-bouche by Michael Greco (Luca), a primo course by Jimmy Crane (Cranelli’s), a secondo course by Danielle Youngerman (Rioja), and dessert by Ashley Morrison (Jovanina’s Broken Italian Ristorante). The affair benefitted the Angel Relief Fund, which provides emergency assistance grants to Colorado restaurants, food service, and hospitality employees facing unanticipated hardship such as an injury, illness, or death of a family member.
