Vitello Tonnato
The classic that takes a shot of Teriyaki
The Vitello Tonnato, a Piedmont classic, just got its passport stamped for Asia at Vertigo. The veal stays tender, the tuna sauce silky… but Chef Mehdi adds a whisper of Teriyaki, striking the perfect sweet-salty-umami harmony.
Unlikely combo? Not at all. The Italian softness of tuna and capers blends seamlessly with the precision of Japanese reduction.
The result is a dish that makes purists grin and skeptics convert. Enjoy it by the fire, white wine in hand, while Brussels dreams of Turin — or Tokyo.
