More details on dinner at Amarcord:
Amarcord Restaurant
1168 Hamilton St
in Yaletown
Vancouver, BC
Like Federico Fellini, Manlio Mocchi hails from the Emilia Romagna region north of Tuscany, and like Amarcord the film, Amarcord the restaurant is a paean to the region. Chef Romano Benini's gnocchi is peerless, and sub-$20 mains such as tiger prawns in fresh herbs and garlic and veal scallopine in a white-wine lemon sauce provide exceptional value. The restaurant also offers pricier delicacies such as truffles and live lobster, and desserts that include panna cotta, said to be the world-beating successor to tiramisu.
In an effort to secure reservations in advance, we need to an expression of interest by people on the unconfirmed list. As soon as possible please.

Okay, *confirm* me for the Sat night dinner, at least. The FT Gathering is noted as Fri 26 - Sun 28 but I only see the Sat evening details. Any chance of posting/emailing the updated itinerary please?
Thanks. Dogstar.
Thanks. Dogstar.

Great to hear you can make it Dogstar! Fisch has been delegated the groundwork for this event, and I'm not sure if Robyyz/Fisch had something in mind for the Friday & Sunday(?)
I am always quick to suggest Dim Sum as a Sunday event, if you guys need more ideas...
