Signature Station: Parmigiano-reggiano Wheel

Shaved. Melted. Mixed. How amazing that this enormous wheel of cheese serves as both an ingredient and a bowl. In one dish, the Chef spoons warm risotto into the Parmigiano-Reggiano bowl and folds it into the sides to create an unforgettably creamy risotto that melts in your mouth. In another, the Chef shaves the inside of the wheel and tosses crisp garden lettuce, vegetables and housemade garlic croutons to produce a traditional Caesar salad. When served together they make quite a wonderful small plate combination. Choose from three different tastes: Wild Mushrooms, Leek & Roasted Tomato Risotto • Sun-dried Tomato, Truffle Oil & Roasted Garlic Risotto • Lobster Mac & Cheese - Lobster, Baby Peas, Shallots, Prosciutto, Capers, Fried Basil
