Caviar is known as the “Black Gold” of the ocean and the ultimate symbol of culinary decadence. Michelin-star Chef Pino Lavarra is pleased to present a six-course degustation menu at Tosca featuring sustainable premium caviar to elevate the modern Southern Italian gastronomic experience to new heights.
The menu will showcase a selection of the four “Kings” of caviar: White sturgeon caviar, the longest living sturgeons from the Pacific coast of North America will top the potatoes focaccia with mimosa egg. Da Vinci Adriatic sturgeon caviar, Italian species from Adriatic Sea, will complete the symphony of fresh and intense taste of Tosca’s signature dish Sea Tiramisu. Caviar de Venise will give its aroma and shine to spaghetti with chives and seaweed. Oscietra Royale sturgeon aka Russian sturgeon caviar, considered the most refined caviar will add the distinctive buttery and nutty flavors to the sauce of the poached lobster tail.
All caviar served in Tosca are “Friends of the Sea”, meaning that they are all farmed under purely natural, ecologically compatible conditions, and follow the principles of sustainable farming practices to prevent the wild sturgeon from going extinct.
The six-course Caviar Night with Pino Lavarra menu is priced at HK$3,000 + 10% per guest, available from 6:00pm to 10:30pm (Monday to Sunday) from September 16 - October 6 and November 14 – December 23, 2013.
