Terrazza

The Christmas Italian buffet was out of the extraordinary! The duck prosciutto and on-the-spot carved Serrano ham were perfect with the entire row of cheeses, crackers, grapes, dried fruits, jams, pickles, and of course the truffle cheese. There was a table of cold dishes and a lovely salad bar: the sunset colored beets, multi-colored cauliflower, and roasted sweet peppers so soft they cut like fruit, were my favorites. A stand for all kinds of breads from croissants to fruit cakes to long sesame crackers. The carving station with honey-glazed ham stole the show with incredible flavor and tender texture, with roasted large rounds of sweet carrots and fluffy cornbread. Every station was paired with their own sauce, wonderfully curated. A row of warmed dishes beautifully displayed in their buffet containers included absolutely tender salmon with grains, the most tender turkey ever, and on-site stirred cheesy and creamy risotto. Finally the table for dessert was decorated with detailed mini Christmas trees, colored confections, all kinds of mini delicacies in forms of fudge, jello, cakes, and a lovely sparkling strawberry mousse-like treat. The service for serving on the buffet were excellent, polite and always cheery. Our personal waiter didn't remove our plates as quickly as needed, but after a soft reminder, he was observant and on point. This was a holiday dining to remember.
