After 6 long hours of dining,  it was time to call it quits.  I don’t know who was more tired, them or myself.

But we all had fun.  That’s for sure.

The Cost per person is $350 for 21 courses with wine pairings and car service home.

Who will be next?

  1. Wow, this looks amazing! How long did the dinner last and what was the cost. I’d love to do the full Dante tour!

    The meal took about 5 1/2 hours to 6 hours. A reasonable pace. The cost is $350. with wine pairings and limo service per person.

    The wine pairings were out of this world; almost as much as the food. The car service home will definitely be needed.

    Thanks Dante and crew.
