A menu that honors the flavors of autumn
Thanksgiving reimagined through Italian craftsmanship
For this season, the culinary team at Nicoletta designed a menu that blends essential autumn flavors with the emblematic ingredients and techniques of Italian cuisine.
The result is a celebration of warmth and refinement—an immersive gastronomic experience where each preparation becomes a tribute to the season.
Antipasto: a delicate introduction to fall
The evening begins with the Insalata di Radicchio e Pere, a harmonious combination of radicchio and pears macerated in red wine. A touch of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and chopped pecans adds richness and balance.
It’s an appetizer that captures the essence of autumn—deep colors, comforting aromas, and a refreshing yet elegant start to the dinner.
The elegance of autumn served in three courses
First course: the charm of Italian artistry
The Cappellacci di Zucca embodies the beauty of northern Italian tradition.
Filled with smooth pumpkin purée and ricotta, the cappellacci are served over a delicate walnut sauce, with toasted panko, Grana Padano, and fresh basil.
This dish celebrates the heart of handmade pasta, one of Nicoletta’s great hallmarks—and a key reason it has become a reference point for traditional Italian cuisine.
The textures, aromas, and presentation set the tone for the evening: an elegant dinner where autumn and Italian heritage blend seamlessly.
Second course: Thanksgiving’s centerpiece, elevated
The highlight of the menu arrives with the Tacchino Arrosto alla Mediterranea, Nicoletta’s refined interpretation of the traditional Thanksgiving turkey.
Here, the turkey breast is cooked sous vide and finished on the pan for a tender, perfectly golden result. It’s accompanied by a pistachio gremolata and silky polenta that add depth and warmth.
This dish is a testament to Nicoletta’s ability to transform tradition into a contemporary, elegant experience—ideal for those seeking a special seasonal dinner in one of the region’s finest Italian restaurants.
Side dishes that complete the experience
Contorni inspired by contemporary Italian cuisine
No autumn dinner is complete without the sides that bring harmony to the table.
The Gratin di Patate al Tartufo layers soft potatoes with a rich cream infused with Grana Padano and nutmeg, finished with a touch of truffle oil that adds sophistication and fragrance.
It’s warm, comforting, and deeply refined—a side dish that captures the soul of the season.
The Fagiolini all’Aglio e Limone add brightness and freshness. The sautéed green beans, combined with confit garlic and lemon zest, provide a delicate contrast that rounds out the menu beautifully.
Together, these contorni elevate the dinner into a balanced and memorable experience.
The perfect ending to a remarkable celebration
A dessert that embodies the spirit of the season
The evening concludes with the Tiramisù di Zucca con Mascarpone all’Amaretto, an autumn-inspired interpretation of Italy’s most iconic dessert.
Served inside a chocolate pumpkin, it features a delicate mascarpone and pumpkin cream over a bed of cookie crumble, finished with a small pea shoot for an elegant visual touch.
It’s a dessert that celebrates creativity, technique, and the warmth of the season—proof that Thanksgiving at Nicoletta is so much more than a dinner: it’s an experience meant to be remembered.
