White truffle menu

Hi,

I know it's the beginning of white truffle season... i'm looking to do a tasting. Can anyone suggest a restaurant that has a menu for it?? Thanks!

    1. Cru is the only place I know of that's done a full tasting menu in the past.

      1. Del Posto used to have a white truffle tasting menu every winter. It was as good as it sounded. Call first to see if it is available.

        A Voce and Eleven Madison Park usually have a dish or two in their menu that feature white truffle when in season. Last time I had the risotto with white truffle at EMP and it drew so much envy looks from diners nearby. The smell permuated the whole area. A Voce was also very generous on the truflle, but I don't know if it is going to happen without Chef Carmellini.

        Le Cirque also serves white truffle menu every year.

            il Mulino always had white truffles over risotto, excellent

                One more for Del Posto--it generally wouldn't be my first choice for much (I'll take Babbo for a Batali fix and Scalini Fedeli for a fancy schmancy Italian fix), but I do try to get in during white truffle season. I don't recall a truffle tasting menu so much as truffle-larded options for every course (but then again, it's all just a drunken truffly haze; I probably just choose the a la carte options because I'm picky like that). The white truffle risotto is extraordinary.

                • Fiamma has one too

                    1. re: egable

                      does anyone know how much the tartufo d'alba, the itaian white truffles cost per lb ? this season i'll bet an order with pasta or rissotto will be $ 175 an order but what a way to go

                        1. re: PAULSCOHEN

                          Alba white truffles cost $3,040 per pound at Buon Italia.

                          Apparently Sapori d’Ischia in Woodside, Queens, has Tuesday night truffle dinners for a bargain basement $50!

                            1. four seasons restaurant every year has a big tartufo menu

                                1. Hi,
                                  If you would like to try some black truffle instead in this summer season ZaZa restaurant has a Truffle menu available. Have fun!
