Final nibble
This season at Armani is less “loud party” and more “elegant get-together that smells delicious.” Whether you’re grabbing a turkey to go, sipping a couture hot chocolate, or indulging in a five-course sonnet to Italian cuisine – the food is the star, the service is the supporting actor, and your memories get to be the encore. Book early, bring your festive spirit (and stretchy pants), and let Armani handle the rest.
