For one night only on Sep. 8, the Italian cities of Rome and Naples are set to be pitted against each other at Asia’s number 1 bar, Bar Leone, when neo-Neapolitan pizzeria FALCONE takes over the Italian bar’s kitchen.

Chef Josh Stumbaugh will be whipping up five of FALCONE’s signature plates, including three pasta dishes of rigatoni alla Genovese (HKD150), penne al pomodoro (HKD110), and Napoli football legend Diego Maradona’s favourite pasta dish, spaghetti alla Maradona (HKD110), a spicy number starring chilli, breadcrumbs, garlic, and Parmesan. These savoury bites will be rounded off with a special dessert created by the bar for the occasion, Leone tiramisu (HKD90).

Bar Leone founder Lorenzo Antinori will take his rightful place behind the bar on the night to pour a selection of exclusive cocktails marrying the essence of Roman and Neapolitan flavours.

Great Italian food and drink complemented by DJ Neeno on the decks, foosball games, and branded FALCONE x Bar Leone merch lead the charge on Sunday from 4PM!

Bar Leone, 11–15 Bridges Street, Soho, Central
