Daniele Sperindio of one-MICHELIN-starred ART in the National Gallery welcomes guests back this November with a refreshed experience, coupled with a 7-course degustation menu that highlights the fall and winter harvest. The restaurant has also renamed itself from ART to Art di Daniele Sperindio.
Taking root from Sperindio's Italian heritage, the dishes in the tasting menu are a reflection of Sperindio's personal journey as a chef. Also, on Sunday, 13 November 2022, Art presents the fourth edition of the Alba White Truffle Benefit Dinner and Charity Auction.
In collaboration with the World Alba White Truffle Charity Auction, this annual event celebrates Italian gastronomy, fine wines, and the spirit of charity from around the globe. A specially curated 5-course degustation menu will highlight the elusive Alba White Truffle paired with five decades of fine wine from Piedmont.
Towards the evening, a silent international auction will be held live across cities such as Alba, Hong Kong and Singapore for the prestigious truffles, with 100% of the proceeds from the auction and nett proceeds from the dinner donated to Art's local beneficiary partner: DREAMS, which provides after-school education and holistic support to children from low-income households.
