Maison Mittal – The Art of Encounter

THE ART OF ENCOUNTER
An Evening with Maison Mittal & Chef Nicola Allegretta

Neeta & Kunal cordially invite you to a formal wine dinner celebrating the art of wine and cuisine.

Friday, December 4, 2026
Nicola Restaurant · San Luis Obispo

Our very first wine dinner began at Chef Nicola’s table. This December, we return to it with Maison Mittal.

Born in southern Italy and trained in Puglia, Chef Nicola Allegretta brings a classical Italian foundation to his exploration of Peruvian cuisine. His culinary journey has taken him from the creation of Mistura to representing Peru at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. At Nicola, that journey finds expression in Bachiche cuisine, where Italian craftsmanship and Peruvian ingredients share a rich and distinctive history.

For this intimate, four-course dinner, Maison Mittal’s Bordeaux-inspired wines enter that conversation. Each pairing offers a new perspective on the wine, revealing its character through the textures, flavours and imagination of Chef Nicola’s cuisine.

THE MENU

I · Seared Scallops
Ají amarillo leche de tigre, crispy quinoa, salmon roe, avocado

II · Purple Potato Gnocchi
Ricotta-filled, black truffle sauce

III · Chicha Morada Rack of Lamb

IV · Croccante de Lúcuma

Each course paired with Maison Mittal wines.

Please join us for an evening celebrating a longstanding friendship—and the discoveries still waiting at the table.
