FERRARO’S SPOTLIGHTS DISHES FROM THE VENETO ON UPCOMING SUMMER REGIONAL MENU

Prix-fixe Menu Offered Aug. 10 – Aug. 23

LAS VEGAS (August 2018) – Throughout the summer, Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar celebrates Italy’s best cuisine with its Summer Regional Menu Series, offering a changing rotation of prix-fixe menus. A menu of dishes from the Veneto region will be featured from Aug. 10 – 23 and, like each four-course menu in this first-ever series, is priced at just $49 per person. In addition, select bottles of wine, chosen by Ferraro’s sommelier to complement the featured menu, are offered at special values as well.

Among the most popular dishes in the Veneto is polenta, which is distinguished from polenta in other parts of Italy for its consistency similar to pudding. Seafood is popular in coastal areas, with black-ink pasta—Spaghetti al Nero—being a quintessential Venetian delicacy. Meanwhile, Fegato alla Veneziana, an elegant preparation of chopped liver and onions cooked together, represents another well-loved, savory Venetian dish.

The complete menu from the Veneto follows:

Appetizer (choose one)

Baccala Mantecato

Poached-whip cod in extra virgin olive oil, potato mousse, olive and capers
