Il Ritorno's "Confidential" Chef's Special will feature new dishes every week.
Fans of downtown St. Pete's
Il Ritorno
may now discover a fresh dining experience each time they stop in. Chef and co-owner David Benstock calls the rustic Italian restaurant's newest offering his "Confidential" Chef's Special.
"Throughout my career, I've been taught to execute dishes a certain way, following a specific recipe," Benstock said in a statement. "The 'Confidential' is a way for me to express my creative freedom, through the creation of entirely new and unique dishes for our guests."
Priced at $65, the special highlights five courses that aren't offered on Il Ritorno's menu, and the items, which change weekly and won't be repeated, remain a secret to patrons who order them. An extra $35 secures the meal's complementary wine pairings.
Live scallops, local duck eggs, truffles imported from Umbria, Italy, and sea urchin are among the ingredients Benstock has unveiled.
