Appetizers: A Symphony of Flavors
Diners can choose from three exquisite starters, each plated to impress both visually and gastronomically:
• Seared Sea Scallops – Three perfectly seared scallops with a golden caramelized crust, elegantly placed on a velvety chickpea purée. Thin shavings of black truffle are delicately laid on top, infusing the dish with an irresistible aroma.
• Vitello Tonnato – Thin slices of tender roasted veal are arranged in an artistic spread, lightly coated with a silky tuna sauce. Capers and baby arugula provide the perfect contrast of color and texture.
• Buffalo Mozzarella & Prosciutto – A perfect sphere of fresh buffalo mozzarella takes center stage, surrounded by thinly folded slices of prosciutto. A salad of thinly sliced mushrooms, baby arugula, and Parmesan shavings completes the elegant composition.
Main Courses: A Showcase of Culinary Excellence
For the main course, guests can select from four outstanding dishes, each plated with precision and elegance:
• Tagliolini al Tartufo Nero di Norcia – A nest of homemade pasta sits beautifully in the center of the plate, generously topped with freshly shaved black truffle, creating a visually stunning and aromatic delight.
• Halibut alla Livornese – A perfectly seared halibut fillet is placed atop a vibrant tomato, caper, and olive sauce. Grilled asparagus is neatly arranged beside it, adding a touch of freshness and balance.
• Madagascar Jumbo Prawns – Large, flame-grilled prawns are elegantly lined up on the plate, their rich orange color contrasting beautifully with the deep green sautéed broccoli rapini served alongside.
• Filet Mignon Rossini Style – A luxurious tower of perfectly cooked filet mignon topped with a delicate slice of foie gras. A rich, velvety sauce encircles the dish, enhancing its depth of flavor.
