  • Italian Wine + Local Comfort Food Wine Dinner

    $120.00 per person

    Aug 2, 2025 - Aug 9, 2025
    The theme of this dinner is discovery. We welcome to Arden, Fabio Longino of Indigenous Selections and Brand Ambassador for Contratto. With this dinner, we are delving deep into the Indigenous Selections portfolio to showcase wines from lesser-known regions of Italy. The fresh acidity and layered complexity of these wines are the perfect match for a special ‘Local Comfort Food’ rendition of our Ohana Menu. We are serving 5 potentially unfamiliar wines alongside 5 courses of familiar local favorites prepared with the understated elegance that Arden is known for. 5 Course Ohana Menu (served Family Style) 5 Wines + Contratto Digestivo Dinner + Pairing: $120 exclusive of tax and gratuity ($80 + $40pp) Ciao Raggazi… Delving into the world of Italian wines seems daunting. France has 11 main wine regions, Italy has 20. There are 2,000 different varieties of grapes cultivated in Italy. The breadth of Italian wines can be overwhelming and might feel impossible to navigate. I find it liberating. As opposed to French wines where Monastic hierarchies of vineyards and regions have been entrenched for centuries, Italian wine is an endless mosaic of idiosyncratic oddities–some of which are specific to just a singular hillside or town. French wine scholars are like name-dropping socialites; knowing the ‘right’ stuff can get you a long way. An Italian wine scholar is like a dog with two tails. Whenever you reach a level of understanding, along comes another, and even more particular, style or grape that turns everything that you thought you knew on its head. Oh, you like Chinati? Montecucco and Morellino di Scansano are juicier and a lot cheaper. If you think Lambrusco is cool, wait until you try Gutturnio. Don’t get me started about Schioppettino… Drinking Italian wine is a journey of discovery, and cousin, there is so much to discover. It’s a practice with no endgame.

    The food is outstanding as is the wine menu. Service is friendly. The ambience is OK though the restaurant could use a little decorating assistance. The noise level is a little too high.

    Exceptional from the moment we got there. Told the hostess it was my birthday and she sang Happy Birthday. Nice surprise and she had an amazing voice. The food - from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert was wonderful. There was an explosion of flavors in every meal. We really the farm to table concept and everything was plated so well. We had the private room which was really nice. We are definitely coming back here and highly recommend it to anyone celebrating a special occasion. The ambiance and decor was really nice. Very relaxing and intimate especially when you’re celebrating something special.

    So good! Standouts were the hamachi sashimi-super flavorful and delicious, the tomatoes stacciatella-I could eat this every day and the Kona kanpachi which had a very light buerre blanc sauce. Fresh, flavorful and delicious
