Experience Birra Moretti & Nonna’s Kitchen at Opium Garden
This September, Birra Moretti invites you to enjoy Life’s Simple Pleasures, with two real Italian Nonnas at the table. Coming to Opium Dublin for two days only, sisters Monica and Daniela Venturi, the beloved matriarchs behind Bologna’s famed “Le Sfogline” pasta shop will bring their signature sass, stories, and handmade tortellini to Dublin for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: Nonna’s Kitchen by Birra Moretti.
Hosted at Opium on Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th September, guests will step into a warm, Italian pop-up filled with laughter, tradition and the comforting smell of fresh pasta. Each session includes a demo from Nonna’s on pasta-making, family-style sharing platters, and of course, a cold pint of Birra Moretti.
What’s more, one lucky fan at the Opium events will win a trip to visit Monica and Daniela at home in Bologna, Italy.
