Join us for an evening of conviviality around the table, as we present our sixth Grand Truffle Dinner featuring Oregon's native winter white and black truffles in a sumptuous five course meal paired with magnificent Oregon wines.

Considered by many to be the pièce de résistance of the weekend, the 2011 Grand Truffle Dinner features some of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated chefs, and is hosted by Executive Chef Rocky Maselli of Osteria Sfizio in Eugene. This year’s Grand Dinner has a decidedly Italian theme as you will see in our choice of chefs. The Oregon Truffle Festival is honored to present our four Grand Dinner guest chefs:


Host Chef

Rocky Maselli, Chef/ Proprietor
Osteria Sfizio, Eugene, OR

Rocky MaselliRocky Maselli was trained in restaurant and hotel management in San Francisco, and has spent his life working in restaurants—from his family’s British Columbia marina restaurant to hotel and restaurant kitchens from San Francisco to Portland. He was at the helm of Eugene, Oregon's celebrated Marche when it opened in 1998, first as Chef de Cuisine then as Executive Chef in 2004.

He recently opened his own restaurant, Osteria Sfizio, also in Eugene. Osteria Sfizio is a ninety-five seat modern Italian restaurant featuring antipasti, house-made pasta, seasonal ingredients as well as the best seafood and meats Oregon has to offer. This delicious fare is combined with the warmth and green sensibility of the Pacific Northwest.

Chef Maselli has been recognized in the national press (Bon Appetit, W Magazine, Cigar Aficionado, the Discovery Channel) as well as the James Beard Foundation and Slow Food for his work with seasonal Northwest ingredients. In February 2010 he was invited to present Oregon truffles at Blackberry Farm, one of North America's most acclaimed resorts and culinary destinations.
