North American premiere of Arva

All week long, until January 21, Amangani is hosting the stateside debut of Arva: Aman’s seasonal Italian dining concept. The Arva pop up offers Italian influenced breakfast, lunch and dinner. The specials change daily, so pop up to Amangani to try them all. From Italian eggs Benedict for breakfast to a lentil salad with apples and cashews, every dish is thoughtfully curated and presented with the ingredients in mind. Today, we’re excited to try the lamb chop in walnut crust or the strozzapreti with tomato and braised onions.arva

Sam Simma

Raised in the land of casseroles and deep fried cheese curds, Sam Simma left rural Wisconsin for the mountains of Wyoming in summer 2012. Her appetite for adventure is the only thing that rivals her passion for food. She has always used writing to document and critique her travel and dining experiences. Her warmest memories among family and friends have been associated with the food that was at the center of the occasion. From staging cooking shows with siblings to perfecting turtle brownies with her dad, today Sam enjoys connecting people over food by hosting cookie decorating parties, wine pairing nights, and Midwest-inspired potlucks. A dessert fanatic, she has come to impress friends and family with key lime pies, Oreo bon bons, and Snickers ice cream cakes that are far simpler than they could ever imagine. Shhh! Don’t tell.
