Grilled Octopus

“Grano Saraceno” Fettucine
The al dente fettucine made with wild buckwheat has an interesting grain-like texture. The pasta is dressed in savory and light marinara sauce with chunks of cherry tomatoes and basil.
Sicilian Couscous with Shellfish Ragout
There is no shortage of seafood in this traditional Sicilian dish. Over a bed of couscous are generous portions of shellfish, including mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, and scallop. The dish is served in a skillet that keeps the dish warm for the entire time.
Duck Breast “Porchetta”
Sliced pieces of pan-seared duck breast in “porchetta” style is placed over a glaze of sweet and sour aged balsamic vinegar with pickled raisins, and served with a side of vegetable caponata composed of squash, eggplants, and more. Toss in some fennel pollen and cipollini, and you have the perfect entree to make your mouth water.
Lemon and Limoncello Semifreddo
Inside a “dome” of cool, lemon custard is a thin layer of moist vanilla cake. The semifreddo is placed on top of creamy yet refreshing lemon crème anglaise paired with two raspberries and mint.
