The event, sponsored by Peroni, included a three course dinner and Italian film.

The film for the evening was Ages of Love starring Robert De Niro in an Italian speaking role. Revellers enjoyed the laughs in this quirky look-at-love in three different ages of life – youth, adulthood and beyond, while relaxing in the cosy restaurant and enjoying the free flowing Peroni.
