Creating Christmas Radiance with "Floral Aromas," "Floral Ingredients," and "Visual Splendor"

"ARMANI / RISTORANTE" is helmed by the Italian luxury fashion brand, Armani. Enrico Derflingher, who became the youngest head chef of the British Royal Household and later served as White House Executive Chef, is the culinary advisor. The seasonal dishes he paints on large, pure white plates, likened to canvases, continue to captivate diners.

For Christmas 2012, themed "Splendor," the celebration is brought to life through "Floral Aromas," "Floral Ingredients," and "Visual Splendor." Before the meal, the sommelier will present a glass of prestige-classChampagneto lead you into the prologue of a romantic Christmas dinner.

The course features six dishes. It includes the "Floral Aromas" of "Claterello," the king of Italian cured hams, and the fragrant aroma of rare Alba truffles. The "Floral Ingredients" are lavish and satisfying, featuring delicacies like caviar, foie gras, white and black truffles—the world's three great delicacies—and lobster. And in true Armani style, the "Visual Splendor" of simple yet elegant presentation will convey to those gathered around the table that this is a once-a-year special occasion.
