Italian American psychedelic cuisine with theatrical performances
"A tiny, 50-seat supper club adjacent to Superfrico, this Speigelworld venture pairs a three-course Italian-leaning dinner with immersive theatrics. Starters run from tuna tartare to a salad with Calabrian ranch dressing, mains include seared mushroom gnocchi with black truffle or a six-ounce prime filet with roasted bone marrow sauce, and desserts land on tiramisu or rice pudding. Throughout the meal, expect hijinks from the night’s host, acrobats perilously balancing atop one another, and a performer pulling off impossible feats with soap bubbles." - Janna Karel
"A neighboring Italian-American restaurant that, when it took over the Rose Rabbit Lie space in 2021, "brought in chicken Parmesan, tableside hand-pulled mozzarella, and roving circus performers." It functions as the kitchen for the new supper-club experience and offers the kind of menu items cited for the three-course service — tuna tartare, salad with Calabrian ranch dressing, seared mushroom gnocchi with black truffle, six-ounce prime filet with roasted bone marrow sauce, and desserts such as tiramisu and rice pudding with blueberry compote and lemon curd — while integrating theatrical touches (hosts escorting guests to their tables, interstitials of sparring ballerinas and teams of jugglers) that help marry dining and live performance. The restaurant’s production capabilities are noted as sufficient to "turn out a proper gnocchi" for a seated, show-driven dinner." - Janna Karel
"The space later reopened as a companion to Spiegelworld’s since-closed Opium (and then OPM) show and now operates as a separate supper club. It still features short performance pieces — jugglers, dancers, and vindictive ballerinas performing brief acts — while visitors dine on menu items such as chicken Parmesan and tableside-pulled balls of mozzarella." - Janna Karel
"An Italian-American theatrical dining experience where performers amble through the dining room juggling hoops, precariously balancing, and even staging two ballerinas in brutal hand-to-hand combat; the venue was developed with visual art at its core, beginning with a commissioned painting, "Psycho Pop Party" by Adehla Lee, described as the restaurant's artistic DNA. It hosts special events such as a F.A.B. dinner (April 30 at 6 p.m.) presented by Spiegelworld’s Ross Mollison, featuring a four-course prix fixe menu by executive chef Mitch Emge with wines paired by executive wine director Drea Boulanger, and opportunities to meet featured visual artists including Matthew Day Jackson, Gabriel Barcia-Colombo, Chelsea Culprit, and Amy Turner; reservations are available online." - Janna Karel
"This destination inside the Cosmopolitan serves “Italian American psychedelic food.” The menu is a celebration of Italian cooks, featuring family recipes like Sicilian meatballs, broccoli in bagna caudal and an entire pound of mozzarella that is pulled table side. You’ll get bites in between performances of juggling, acrobatics, and murderous ballerinas who make their way through the dining room." - Janna Karel
