Darlinghurt’s Vin-Cenzo’s will mark its first birthday with a collaborative lunch and block party with Melbourne’s Tipo 00 and Sydney Sommelier Giorgio De Maria.
The Goodies Hospitality team, Sali and Nathan Sasi and Morgan McGlone, opened Vin-Cenzo’s on Liverpool St in August last year in the former Bar Vincent site.
The group will mark one year on Sunday 20 September with the collaboration with Melbourne’s Tipo 00, which is known for its modern approach to Italian cooking under chef Andreas Papadakis. The shared menu on the day will include vitello tonnato; tagliolini al nero with squid and bottarga; asparagus tortelli with sage and parmesan cream; and veal saltimbocca. Dessert will include Tipo 00’s signature Tipomisu, and cantucci e Vin Santo (Tuscan biscotti served with Vin Santo).

Snacks at the block party will include melanzana à la Norma panini (Italian sandwich with eggplant, tomato and cheese); nduja sfi ncione (Sicilian pizza with nduja); and supplì al telefono (Roman fried rice croquettes with tomato and cheese).
Giorgio De Maria, a Sydney sommelier and wine importer behind Giorgio De Maria Fun Wines, will serve wines that include Cantina Giardino from Campania; Giuseppe Rinaldi from Barolo, Piemonte; ArPePe from Valtellina, Lombardia; and a Massa Vecchia Rosato from Toscana.
Lunch will take place from 12.30pm to 3pm. The celebration will then move onto Liverpool Street for a block party that is open to all, with no bookings required.

Tipo 00
Nathan Sasi says they had have an incredible first year on Liverpool Street.
“Turning one felt like the right moment to bring together the people we love cooking and drinking with – Tipo 00 in the kitchen with us, and Giorgio doing what he does best behind the bar,” says Sasi.
“Lunch is the more intimate part of the day, but once that wraps, the street’s ours for the afternoon, and everyone’s welcome to wander down and enjoy a drink with us. No bookings, no fuss – just good food, good wine and good company spilling out onto the street.”
The event forms part of The Goodies Hospitality’s Goodies & Friends series which will continue throughout the year and include collaborations with guest chefs and restaurants alongside the group’s portfolio which includes Bar Copains, Bessie’s, Alma’s, Vin-Cenzo’s, and La Buvette.
