We are ab- solutely delighted with what Chef Emanuele Scarello and Chef Kevin Bonello have cre- ated, and the excellent service provided by the Xara Palace, those who attended this Cel- ebration dinner will surely share my same experience". The evening began in the Xara Palace Atrium where up- on arrival, guests were greet- ed with Marsovin's Cassar de Malte Methode Traditionelle sparkling wine, served from 1.5L Magnum bottles.
