    About the event

    Rhode Island classics through a French-brasserie lens

    Dinner: Rhode Island Meets the Riviera is a collaborative seated dinner focused on Rhode Island and Ocean State classics interpreted through a refined French-brasserie approach. The program brings Littleneck Hospitality Group chefs Robert Andreozzi and William Rietzel together with beverage lead Jesse Hedberg, connecting the kitchen and beverage sides of the evening under the same Rhode Island-meets-Riviera theme.

    Andreozzi is listed as chef and co-founder of Littleneck Hospitality Group, Rietzel as chef with Pescadou and Littleneck Hospitality Group, and Hedberg as beverage director and mixologist with Littleneck Hospitality Group. The official event description also identifies Andreozzi as a two-time James Beard Award semifinalist and Rietzel as a Best Chef: Northeast semifinalist.

    Format and program

    The evening begins with a welcome cocktail reception and passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by dinner. The dinner is described as multi-course, with wine and cocktail pairings tied to the Rhode Island and French-brasserie framing rather than listed as a separate tasting or standalone beverage event.

    A live Q&A discussion with the featured chefs is part of the program. That makes the format more than a seated meal: the published program includes the reception, the dinner, beverage pairings, and a chef discussion within the same event.
