Culinary connoisseurs and truffle aficionados eagerly await the return of one of Italy’s most treasured seasonal delicacies as Cafe Milano, nestled within Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island, reintroduces its incredible White Truffle Menu. Available daily from 12:00 pm throughout November, the limited-time menu celebrates the rare and sought-after Alba truffle in a series of dishes curated by Chef Delfino Chiarello.
Located at the heart of Abu Dhabi’s luxury dining scene, Cafe Milano is renowned for its authentic Italian cuisine, elegant waterfront setting, and exceptional service. As the UAE outpost of Washington D.C.’s iconic restaurant, the venue blends the sophistication of fine dining with the warmth of Italian hospitality, making it the perfect backdrop for a season of indulgence.
Truffles are among the most prized ingredients in Italian gastronomy, admired for their distinctive aroma and ability to transform any dish into an unforgettable experience. Revered since ancient times, white truffles are available only during a brief annual harvest, making them a true symbol of culinary luxury. With their fleeting season, the truffle menu at Cafe Milano is a rare chance to savor this delicacy at its peak.
The carefully designed menu begins with refined appetizers such as Zuppa del Giorno, a comforting chef’s daily soup, and Carpaccio di Capesante, featuring delicate Hokkaido scallops with Oscietra caviar, toasted hazelnuts, and a truffle champagne vinegar dressing. Diners can also delight in the Fagottino di Pollo e Verza, a chicken and savoy cabbage roll complemented by Fontina cheese, topinambur purée, mushrooms ragout, and truffle sauce.
For mains, the Tagliolini Fatti in Casa presents freshly made tagliolini pasta with a rich truffle butter sauce, crowned with shaved white truffle, while the Risotto di Asparagi blends asparagus and topinambur with a delicate scampi tartare and lemon. Meat lovers will savor the Filetto di Wagyu Australiano, an Australian Wagyu beef tenderloin served with roasted pumpkin purée and winter vegetables, while seafood enthusiasts can opt for the Filetto di Spigola Selvatica, a pan-roasted seabass accompanied by porcini purée, pickled pioppini mushrooms, leeks, Brussels sprouts, and a silky truffle sauce.
Rounding out the experience, the Il Bosco dessert combines a chestnut parfait, pear compote, and truffle gelato for an indulgent finale. Guests also have the option to enhance any dish with extra truffle shavings for AED 95 per gram, ensuring a truly tailored experience.
With its seasonal White Truffle Menu, Cafe Milano has once again elevated its dining experience, which is rooted in Italian heritage and enhanced by Chef Delfino’s refined creativity. Guests are encouraged to reserve early to immerse themselves in this limited-time celebration of one of Italy’s greatest culinary treasures.
