Alessa, a vibrant slice of la dolce vita in the bustle of Manhattan, served as the perfect backdrop. With its elevated yet casual atmosphere and a menu that blends traditional Italian flavors with modern flair, Alessa delivered a dining experience that felt both intimate and unforgettable.
The evening’s menu was served family-style, fostering connection and shared conversation over an elegant spread. Guests began with a first course of beet salad, margherita pizza, and diavola pizza, followed by a second course featuring rigatoni with braised short rib and gemelli.
For the mains, lemon chicken and salmon were paired with roasted potatoes and broccolini. The meal concluded with the chef’s selection of desserts, a sweet finish to a refined evening.
Guests from Haute Beauty, Haute Residence, Haute Design, and Haute Lawyer networks were welcomed. Notable attendees included Dr. Anna Avaliani, Dr. Michael Gartner, Dr. Mimi Yeung, Albert Niu, Richard Steinberg, Dr. Dmitriy Schwarzburg, and more.
To cap off the evening, guests received luxurious gift bags courtesy of Aire Ancient Baths New York. Each included a gift card inviting them to experience Aire’s serene Tribeca location, where ancient bathing rituals meet modern relaxation. This thoughtful addition provided the perfect wellness-inspired close to the night.
From beautifully plated Italian dishes to heartfelt conversations and luxury wellness gifts, the Haute Leaders dinner at Alessa NYC was a celebration of connection, excellence, and shared vision.
