Chef Scott Conant's Italian restaurant Scarpetta, our favorite at the moment, is now offering a special of White Alba Truffles on Fresh Tagliatelle pasta with butter for $120. Or you can save a few bucks and just have them shave truffles on recommended dishes (i.e. Polenta, Agnolotti) for $100. And if you really want to go for it, $225 gets you a six course dinner with shaved white Alba truffles on every savory dish. The feast begins with Egg Custard, then progresses to Roasted Sea Scallops with sunchokes & mushrooms, Tagliatelle, Risotto, Slow roasted Sirloin of Beef with with shaved parmigiano, and the chef's selection of desserts. (For an extra $75, add a wine pairing for each course.) 355 West 14th Street at Ninth Avenue (Photo: Daniel Krieger)

Now you're speaking my language! Om nom nom!
you misquote the article about Sapori D'Ischia. the bloggers actually say:
"I would say that we have had some ridiculous white truffle experiences with decadent thin slices of white truffle shaved over our plates so high that you could not even see the dish underneath. This is not that type of truffle experience, but it certainly doesn’t make it a bad one.It’s a small amount of shavings, but the rich flavors of the pasta and meat compliment the amount of shavings perfectly"
I just had to come back here and say...this article inspired me to get the truffles at dinner and oooh boy were they good. Om nom nom indeed!
