Vegas restaurants offer meals featuring white truffles -- while they last
Fall means it’s white truffle time, and two Las Vegas restaurants are showcasing the delicacy in limited-time, prix fixe dinners.
While the pricey fungi last -- probably until early December -- Restaurant Guy Savoy, a Forbes five-star restaurant at Caesars Palace, is offering a six-course meal priced at $420 per person.
The dinner begins with scallops prepared two ways before moving on to pumpkin soup served with poached egg and white truffles. For the third course, guests are treated to white truffle risotto. The main course, roasted guinea hen, includes a hazelnut and watercress coulis topped with white truffle shavings.

Just a couple of miles east of the Strip, a truffle dinner that’s not quite as expensive awaits at Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar (4480 Paradise Road), a family-run eatery popular with Las Vegas locals.
Executive chef Mimmo Ferraro, the owners’ son, has created “A Perfect Match,” a four-course dinner priced at $350 for two.
The meal begins with pappardelle, a pasta dish incorporating white truffles. For the main course, there’s chef Mimmo’s veal scaloppine and truffles, a dish featured last month in Wine Spectator. The dinner includes a bottle of Produttori del Barbaresco Italian wine, the pairing recommended in the magazine article.
Ferraro’s boasts a wine cellar stocked with 12,000 bottles.
