Vin Santo owners Moira Mevissen and Peter Oakley said they were launching Musica dei Notte to support local talent and offer affordable entertainment and cuisine as part of a plan to make the long-established trattoria a centre for events and entertainment as well as delicious Italian cuisine. There is so much great talent around so we aim to give performers an avenue to share their gifts with locals who get to enjoy a night of beautiful music and food for only $15 on opening night or $25 on following nights, said Mrs Mevissen. At Vin Santos we embrace Italys passion for good food, good friends and good times so Musica dei Notte aims to deliver all that to locals at an affordable price so everyone can come along and enjoy a fun night out. * Musica dei Notte will run from 6-9-pm every Monday night for 12 weeks from June 27, 2011.
