Vault Dinner Series — De Novo | Events

About This Event

An Evening Unlike Any Other

The vault door — twelve inches of original 1920s steel — swings open precisely at 7pm. Eight chairs. One candlelit table. And an eight-course journey through the best of what our kitchen can offer.

Each Vault Dinner is themed — exploring a region, a season, a producer, or a culinary technique. Chef Marco Santini designs each menu from scratch for every event, meaning no two evenings are ever the same. Wine pairings are curated by Sommelier Sofia Moreau.

This is not dinner. This is an experience that takes three hours, tells a story through eight courses, and leaves every guest changed.

"The Truffle Edition"

A full evening dedicated to the black truffle — from its origins in the forests of Norcia to its transformation on the plate. Eight courses. Zero restraint.
