To begin 2014, Chef Nico Chessa has created an inspired menu of dishes designed for a tasting from the north, center or south of Italy showcasing the specialties and ingredients for which each area is known. Guests may design their own menu of à la carte items focusing on a geographical area or customize a taste from the top to the tip of the map. The northern regions of Piemonte, Venice, Fruili and Lombardy are represented by Chessa’s signature Flan of Cardoons and Sunchokes with Raschera Fondue; Hand-Rolled Garganelli with Porcini; and Fork-Tender Braised Beef with La Tur Soft Polenta. Many more delectable dishes showcasing the center and southern regions are available.
All dishes are listed à la carte; a 3 course tasting with choice of Antipasti, Primi and Secondi is priced at $35 per guests, beverages, taxes and gratuities excluded. Valentino’s full menu is available in addition to the special winter option.
