mb guests dined on an array of delicious Northern Italian rustic samplings from the kitchen of La Maschera Ristorante & Enoteca. The cozy and romantic glow of the tarnished copper Moroccan sconces offset by Federico Fellini's epic 8 1/2 which played on the opposite wall of the restaurant, creating a warm vibe of artful elegance for the evening.
