Join us for a delicious gourmet meal at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.  Truly authentic regional Italian cuisine takes center stage at Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici, a sophisticated dining room overlooking a stunning herb and rose garden, and the Hudson River.  With a focus on the seasons and products of the Hudson Valley, contemporary and traditional regional dishes are brought to life at the American Bounty Restaurant in an honest and flavorful way. Rounded out with a first-class American wine list and comfortable warm service, this casually elegant restaurant sets the stage for an unparalleled dining experience in New York’s Hudson Valley.  

 

Lunch today is at Caterina d'Medici, we will enjoy a starter of Polpetina (meatball, creamy polenta & pickled mustard seeds), entree of Pollo Arrosoto (pan roasted chicken breast, roasted fingerling potatoes, sauteed escarole & roasted chicken vinaigrette) with Budino di Liomone (lemon pudding, blackberries, lemon & pepper shortbreak cookie) for dessert. 

 

After lunch we will get the CIA Experience with a few short videos before being guided through the physiology of taste.  Then we will have a Q&A period with some students and a short walk down the main hallway.
