Escape the everyday and dive into a thoroughly traditional Italian experience with some new foodie friends!
Drool has bottled up all the dinner party magic and invites you to join them for a deliciously memorable Supper Club. Not only will there be sipping and supping, but you will also have the opportunity to learn how to shape your own pasta, all while supporting local Melbourne hospitality.
This month, Drool's travelling Supper Club delivers you to the stoops of Melbourne’s famous Prahran Market and into the doorway of its newest eatery, Oltre Alimentari e Cucina! You will be greeted by two Italian-speaking hospitality veterans; owners Salvatore Ciano and Samir Slimane, who are bringing a taste of the old country to this nostalgic Panini & Pasta Cafe.
Think candlelight. A classic, curated four-course Italian menu using local ingredients. Delightful chatter. Glasses clinking and delicious aromas. But unlike any ordinary Supper Club, we will take you beyond.
You will receive a private pasta making demonstration, right from Cucina’s pasta making station. You might even want to roll up your own sleeves to turn out tagliatelle from their fancy Italian pasta extruder or shape gnocchi by hand on their flour-dusted benches.

Oltre is the brain child of hospitality veterans and great friends, Sal and Sem. Salvatore Ciano is from a small town near Rome called Gaeta. He began his hospitality adventure as a dishwasher at Fonda Mexican when he arrived in Melbourne nine years ago and worked up to area manager of five restaurants. His business partner, Samir Slimane, grew up in southern Switzerland, near the Italian border. He also assisted in Fonda openings and, along the way, the Italian-speaking pair started to brew some plans."For us, it's important to make authentic products," says Ciano. "We stay true to Italian traditions and we don't compromise.” Together, they decided to renovate a cafe outside of the Prahran Market's deli arcade, turning it into this welcoming and atmospheric cucina that we now call ‘Oltre’.
Drool is the latest Food Experience platform to launch in Melbourne, hosting events that are designed to bring people together in celebrating our common love of food. We provide a series of in-person and virtual food experiences such as cooking and baking classes, cheese making, wine tasting and cheese pairing and cocktail making events!
Our experiences are hosted by our talented team of culinary instructors who include MasterChef Australia contestants, media personalities, Michelin star chefs, sommeliers, Mixologists and passionate home cooks! Our events are hosted from local venues all around Melbourne and support our Melbourne hospitality industry.
At Drool, we believe that in the sharing of food and beverages, barriers are broken down and we create opportunities to meet, learn from, empathise with and be inspired by one and other. Our experiences are dedicated to cultivating these connections, in creating deliciously unforgettable memories.

This turned out to be more of a big group dinner than an actual class, but that was fine by me! The food was delicious and everyone was really lovely. It was their first time hosting an event like this, and all things considered I thought they did a great job.
