OSTERIA DEL CIRCO<\/strong>
\nIt all started in 1974 when Sirio Maccioni opened what was destined to become a New York landmark \u2013 Le Cirque. For over 40 years, Le Cirque has offered an unparalleled dining experience, earning its place on New York\u2019s gastronomical landscape. Staying very much a family-owned business, Sirio\u2019s sons followed in their father\u2019s footsteps and can be seen working at Le Cirque\u2019s multiple locations and sister restaurants, including Osteria del Circo.<\/p>\n

Osteria del Circo has been \u201ca family affair\u201d since it opened in 1996, a Maccioni family collaboration between Sirio, his wife Egidiana and their sons, Mauro and Marco. Circo offers upscale Italian fare served in a lively, sophisticated setting reminiscent of the old-style European circus tents which inspired the restaurant\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

In addition to the original New York restaurants, Le Cirque is also located in Las Vegas, Casa de Campo, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and opening soon in Dubai, and Circo can be found in Casa de Campo, Southampton, Abu Dhabi and opening soon in Dallas, Orlando and Doha.<\/p>\n

Venice-born Paolo Sari has been running the kitchens of the Five-starred Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel since 2012. In just over a year, his seasonal, quality-oriented approach to cooking earned the hotel\u2019s restaurant\u00a0Elsa<\/strong>\u00a0(named after American writer Elsa Maxwell) its first Michelin star \u2013 making Elsa the world\u2019s only 100% organic Michelin-starred restaurant. Sari imposes an absolute 100% organic rule to everything that comes into the kitchen. His \u201chealthy mind in a healthy body\u201d approach starts with the careful selection of produce from his own vegetable garden in the hills above Monaco and from farms in neighboring villages. \u201cOrganic is a true way of life for us; it represents excellence in both taste and health. It brings wellbeing to the palate, the body and the mind,\u201d says Sari.<\/p>\n

On the menu for\u00a0Flavors of Monaco<\/em>\u00a0week will be a selection of dishes combining the culinary influences of southern France and Italy and incorporating the Northeast U.S. local products for a seasonal \u201cmenu du march\u00e9\u201d flair. All ingredients will be selected from local organic farms or fished in open waters. Chef Sari\u2019s careful selection of ingredients is epitomized in his signature \u201cbio sama\u201d dish of seasonal vegetables and herbs. Menu selections will also include local red mullet roasted \u201cRiviera-style,\u201d asparagus, egg and truffle over crispy potatoes and fondue, and Elsa\u2019s signature souffl\u00e9.<\/p>\n
