Admirers of the refined Italian cuisine of Nicholini’s now have more reasons to be excited this autumn, as duo waves of gastronomic revelations will hit the restaurant, offering guests the pinnacle of Italian cooking from various perspectives. The festivities are officially underway with the arrival of Riccardo Catarsi, the new Restaurant Specialty Chef. In addition to devising a new tasting dinner and a la carte dishes, he will also make a statement about his culinary prowess through the seasonal white truffle promotion.

The newly launched white truffle tasting dinner manifests how chef Riccardo casts a wonderful light on the seasonal ingredient from Alba, Piedmont. His treatment of the precious fungus is guided by recipes from his hometown, updated by his contemporary approach. Some of the noteworthy dishes include white truffle with pan-fried Hokkaido scallop, 47ºC, purple potatoes, salmon roe and sea urchin sabayon. Chef Riccardo is inspired by the traditional, yet unexpected pairing of seafood and truffle, using fish oil in the fatty seafood to underline the truffle’s heavenly aroma. The sea urchin, imaginatively turned into smooth sabayon, finds a counterpoint through the crunchy purple potatoes. (Jan 2018)
