Italian-French Roast Squab Lunch

This lunch menu, a mix of Italian and French dishes, reflects the Marzotto family’s heritage—from a Venetian dish of sweet small shrimp served over soft white polenta to succulent roast squab wrapped in crisp bacon and accompanied by smooth purees of chestnut, Vichy carrot and celery root (a nod to the Countess’s Parisian roots) to airy tortino alla mandorle filled with sweetened pears steamed in butter and served with a rich crème anglaise sauce.
