Chef Angelo Masarin of Salumeria 104
We asked two chefs to give us their favorite date night dish! This is what they said:
Chef Angelo Masarin of Salumeria 104
A great date night dish is our Ravioli San Daniele. It’s made in-house and is filled with our prosciutto, which is what we are known for. The Trio di Prosciutti is a great start to the meal because it includes a selection of three specialty prosciuttos that a couple can share. It pairs perfectly with our fresh-baked bread.
Executive Chef Curtis Rhodes of Café Roval
Café Roval is known for being one of Miami’s most romantic restaurants and we do get a lot of requests for something special. A good date night dish that is not on the menu—but if someone calls and wants to impress—is the Roval Tower. It’s a double tier shellfish/charcuterie and cheese tower. The top tier is filled with oysters, stone crabs, clams, and shrimp. The second tier is a platter of salami, housemade pâté, cured hams, and a variety of cheeses served with seasonal sauces, accompaniments, and garnishes. This dish has that ‘wow’ factor. As you work together up and down the tower in this unique backdrop setting, I encourage the diners to eat with their hands where it softens the formality and heightens the sensual connection to the food and mood. Then I leave the rest up to you—we all know what oysters do!
Happy dining!
