The GOODS from Cibo Trattoria

Vancouver, BC | It’s no trick — Vancouver’s Cibo Trattoria is offering its patrons an offal treat this October with a two-night, Halloween-inspired menu custom designed by Executive Chef Faizal Kassam.

On Thursday, October 30 and Friday, October 31 — the two days known across the world as “Devil’s Night” and Halloween, respectively — Kassam will prepare a devilishly delectable five-course tasting menu that serves up clever nods to the feast of All Hallows’ Day, traditionally celebrated the day after Halloween. From Roasted Bone Marrow to Grilled Ox Heart and Agnolotti of Blood Pudding, to Grilled Calves Liver and Blood Orange Panna Cotta, Kassam’s menu is alternately sinister and sumptuous.

In addition to à la carte options, the special five-course tasting menu — listed below — will be offered for $69 per person, or $99 per person including wine pairings hand-selected by General Manager and Wine Director Robert Stelmachuk. Details and menu after the jump.
