Chef Bolla plans to complete the Truffle & Shiitake Mushroom Risotto tableside, using a Parmigiano wheel. That announced preparation is the clearest look at the menu’s approach: five courses built around seasonal ingredients and a wine program featuring Quintessa and related wineries.
The menu moves from scallop to chocolate
The five-course lineup begins with Scallop Crudo, followed by the truffle-and-shiitake risotto. Pumpkin Gnocchi comes with brown butter and sage; Beef Braciole is braised in San Marzano tomato sauce. Dark Chocolate Torte closes the meal.
The risotto’s tableside finish is the menu’s most specific preparation detail. The restaurant says Chef Bolla curated the dishes to complement the wines, but does not publish a separate schedule for when each course will arrive.

A portfolio, not a published pairing chart
The announced wines span Quintessa’s Bordeaux-style red blend, made from Napa Valley vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignons from Faust, and wines from Leviathan. The dinner is framed as a chance to explore offerings across that group rather than focus on a single label.
Only one dish-and-wine match is specified: Dark Chocolate Torte with Graham’s Late Bottled Vintage Port, preceded by a special Quintessa wine service. The announcement does not name bottle vintages or assign specific wines to the earlier courses, so diners looking for a particular pour or a full pairing list will not find those details in the published menu.
