Astice della Costa Azzurra Scomposto in Eleganza Monegasca

Monaco has adopted it. Sicily claims the rights.

Côte d'Azur lobster, steamed in white wine and served deconstructed in three compositions: medallion, claw, bisque. All accompanied by a late-season Ciaculli mandarin vinaigrette, an exclusive product of the Palermo plain that Ciccio imports directly from the producer. The dish is presented in three stages, with thirty seconds of silence between each. Guests initially laugh. Then they understand.

"Every time I prepare it, I cry a little. It's a form of quality control."

— Francesco D'Amplo
