Sip + Supper Event
come hungry
Sunday dinner, with chosen family at the centre of the table.
Chef Maddy Goldberg · Sommelier Sarah Mifsud
The story
It began as a simple wish. A Sunday dinner where everyone at the table belongs.
Maddy creates five mostly Italian courses, cooked and served by the Contrada team. Sarah will speak to her favourite regions and styles. Guests may not arrive together, but they leave feeling as though they did.
Sip + Supper Event is inclusive and queer-forward, built around chosen family. There is no dress code and no ceremony. There is community-based dining, candlelight, good bread, and good company.
Seats are limited on purpose. Forty to fifty guests, in two seatings, so the room stays warm and the service stays personal.

Giving back
A seat that gives back.
A portion of every entry ticket goes to the Fort York Food Bank. Giving back has always been at the heart of how Maddy cooks. Every week she volunteers in the kitchen at the Fort York Food Bank, turning donations into meals for more than a hundred neighbours. When you take a seat at our table, you help set another one.

The room
Hosted at Contrada.
Sip + Supper is hosted at Contrada, a modern Italian restaurant in the heart of Toronto's Little Italy, at College and Euclid. Named for the Italian word for district, Contrada was built as a neighbourhood gathering place, with seasonal, locally sourced cooking and a warm, candlelit room full of vintage character. Toronto Life and Air Canada named it one of the best new restaurants of 2024. It is the kind of room that makes a Sunday dinner feel like home.
Contrada's kitchen is led by Chef Lifini "Lif" Kalikutty, who is competing this season on Top Chef Canada. On the night, Lif and the Contrada team bring Maddy's menu to the table.
