Setting the luxe mood for the evening, a flower-adorned corner of the restaurant featured a delicate setup of Chopard jewellery and watches, a popular spot with ladies like Lee Jim Leng, Cherrie Chin, Melissa Lim and others who spent some time trying on the Swiss brand's beautiful diamond bracelets, earrings, necklaces and watches. Meanwhile, gentlemen like Daniel Lim, Anson Auyong and Nickson Auyong also didn't miss a chance to snap photos against this charming backdrop.

Before dinner was served, guests mingled over a free flow of cocktails, wine and spirits from Pernod Ricard Malaysia, Jacob’s Creek, Lillet and Perrier Jouet while enjoying a feel-good musical playlist of Italian songs chosen by Rocco himself.  

“Kuala Lumpur has quickly become one of my favourite cities, the people, the food, everything about it is just fantastic," said Rocco. "So as a thank you, I thought why not create an Italian experience where we bring you through a journey of how you would eat in Rome!”

Throughout dinner, guests had the opportunity to hear from Rocco himself as he visited every table explaining the inspirations behind such delightful dishes as the Lamb Ragù and Sea Bass alla Puttanesca. 

After clinking glasses, enjoying their desserts and snapping plenty of photos, Chopard Malaysia's general manager, Karen Teh delivered a heartfelt message to her guests: “Though it's been a difficult past two years, I’d like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support that each and every one of you has shown us,” she said.
