The best nights out are the ones where nobody’s in a hurry to leave...
Cuts & Company is back at @restaurant_santino in the @wollongongcbd for one night only, and it’s a celebration of steak from start to finish.
The kitchen will work through the whole beast, cut by cut, with every plate building towards the signature bistecca. There will be a wine pairing to match each course if you’d like to really make a night of it 😉
📍 Thursday 19 November from 5:30pm.
Send this to the friend who never skips steak night 🥩
