Italian white truffles have nearly as short a season as flying reindeer. So when Spiaggia offers a four-course white truffle dinner, our antlers perk up.
This Monday, Dec. 16, Tony Mantuano’s toniest restaurant invites you to sample the finest in fungus for $135, which qualifies as a holiday special for this delectable aphrodisiac—because Valentine’s Day just might be too long to wait. The dinner begins at 6 p.m., and wine pairings are available for an extra $55. Here's the menu:
