selection of both traditional and innovative dishes for those
with a discriminating taste in Italian cuisine.

Seafood
The restaurant is famous for its fish: the catch of the day
is presented on a large platter by your waiter or by Chef
Luigi himself, for you to choose, on any given day, Dover
sole from the English Channel, pompano from the Gulf of Mexico,
Chilean seabass, or branzino and orata flown directly from
Italy. The fish is served grilled, with a touch of olive oil
and lemon to bring out its flavor, and accompanied by asparagus
and potatoes.
Appetizers
Appetizers include, among others, sea scallops, smoked tuna
carpaccio, calamari, and grilled portobello mushrooms. For
salad, you can try fresh mozzarella and tomato with basil,
or fennel and orange.
Entrees
Entrees are divided into pastas and meat dishes. Pastas are
homemade and served al dente, with tomato or other traditional
Italian sauces. The meats include duck with balsamic vinegar
and honey sauce, beef enderloin with wine sauce, and veal
scaloppini with Parma ham.
Vegetarian

radicchio and cheese, angel hair pasta with vegetables, penne
pasta with sundried tomatoes and goat cheese, and ricotta
dumplings with fresh cherry tomato sauce.
Desserts
Desserts provide the magic touch to finish a wonderful meal
at Al Tiramisu®, it is hard to decide what to choose:
