The dress code is business casual, with most men wearing dress shirts and dress pants. Jackets are not required, though you would not feel out of place if you chose to wear one,
During a recent lunch, I enjoyed the tasting menu though it didn't seem to include any dishes from the prix fixe. For what it's worth, here's what I had (*** means truly memorable, for me):
Assaggi:
Capon broth with spinach
Risi bisi with codfish
Mini crispy prosciutto sandwich
Tuna wrapped in daikon
Chickpea fritter with black truffle ***
Crispy mozzarella ball with tomato powderBread service:
Unsalted butter from Emiglia Romagna
Whipped lardoCauliflower budino: polenta, lobster, caviar, citrus ***
Pork terrine with parsnip and chicories (pork chunks braised in red wine and gelled) ***
Tortelli di zucca with black truffle - squash, mascarpone, brown butter, amaretto cookie crumble - a bit sweet but very good
Veal braciole, roasted porcini, Barolo glaze ***
Aged pecorino, warm honey and saffron, toasted sourdough (very nice table presentation)
La Dolce Mela - baked apple, honey, basil gelato, grilled lemon cake (sounds homey but actually quite refined) ***
Petit fours:
Olive oil gelato and chocolate lollipop
Bomboloni
Chocolate truffle
Dehydrated raspberry filled with jam (I think)The service was exceptional and I even a receved a kitchen tour. I hope you enjoy your experience.
