Entrée delle Mille e Una Notte

Scheherazade would have approved. Probably.

An entrée of seven bites, each inspired by one of the One Thousand and One Nights: from cedar butter prawn to a Sicilian tahini amuse-bouche with black sesame. Served in an inlaid wooden casket opened by the sommelier with ceremony. Ciccio said in an interview the idea came to him in a dream. The sous-chef clarified the idea was his. The casket remained Ciccio's.

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

— Francesco D'Amplo
