Since their somewhat complicated separation with Le Virtù and Brigantessa last summer, chefs Joe Cicala and Angela Ranalli-Cicala have focused on cooking classes, Sunday night dinners at their home in South Philly, and culinary tours of Italy through Antico, the tour company Angela started.

Now, Antico is partnering with Claudia Cesarino, a wine expert and owner of her own gourmet tour company, Time Around Italy. And the Cicalas are bringing her to Philly for an Italian happy hour at the Divine Lorraine Hotel.

On Friday, January 26th, head to the Divine Lorraine for drinks and light bites prepared by Cicala. Ranalli-Cicala and Cesarino will discuss upcoming tours to Italy’s Piedmonte, Tuscany, Castelli Romani, and Lake Garda regions. The evening includes a tasting of two Italian wines, and there will also be a cash bar.

Tickets to the happy hour, which goes from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., are $40, and you can get yours here.
