The allure of truffles at Mi Piace
But for those who can’t take time off to fly to
Black truffle lovers can totally indulge in a special degustation menu or choose individual menu items from the limited menu created by Mi Piace’s Resident Italian Chef Massimo Veronesi. A sampling of the festival menu: US Beef Carpaccio with Fresh Truffle Polenta; Artichoke Royal with Truffle Cappuccino; Parmesan Cheese Arborio Risotto with Black Truffle and White Truffle Oil; Truffle-crusted Alaskan Cod with Cauliflower Purée, Potato Gnocchi and Truffle Chives Sauce; and Black Truffle Ice Cream with Pistachio Soufflé.
Chef Massimo promises that the truffles he will be using for his dishes will “impart a rich aroma and flavor to even the simplest dishes that can’t be matched by anything else. One whiff and you will be in heaven!”
