The original Borgias were wealthy patrons of the arts, and if the
mini-series is to be believed (has TV ever let you down?), masters of
sinful self-indulgence.
Chef
Nicolina Servello, Chocolatier Nada Fares of Le
Maitre du Chocolatier and pastry artist Jami
Liverman have come together to create Les
Nuits Borgia, a hedonistic multi-course gourmet romp ($100 per
person, $130 with wine pairings). The menu for our visit included a
flavorful porcini and wild mushroom crostini followed by a marvelous
Fior di Latte medaglione on a bed of minted pea puree. The main course
was a toothsome truffle salt-seared bavette on a crisp corn polenta
cake, followed by a delicious dessert of chocolate cherry clafoutis with
a sour cherry reduction and vanilla bean ice cream.
Held on only one Thursday per month, the 22 (maximum) guests may arrive
as strangers, but after dining at the communal table, leave as friends.
Reserve online here.
