Michelangelos
A la carte dining, meaning 'from the menu' in French, became popular in restaurants during the 19th century, offering patrons greater choice and customization compared to earlier table d'hôte fixed-menu meals. Each dish is priced separately allowing for a personalized dining experience, reflective of culinary trends and influences from different regions.
A la carte dining is culturally significant as it represents individual choice and a more personalized dining experience. The specific dishes offered can reflect the restaurant's cultural focus, providing insights into regional cuisine and culinary traditions.
Individual Choice
A la carte emphasizes individual preferences, allowing diners to select exactly what they want to eat rather than being limited to a set menu.
Culinary Exploration
It encourages exploration of diverse cuisines and flavors as patrons can mix and match dishes from different culinary traditions.
Dining as an Event
A la carte often elevates dining to a more deliberate and personalized experience, contributing to a sense of occasion.
The flavors vary widely depending on the specific a la carte dish. Michelangelo's could offer anything from rich, savory Italian flavors to more international profiles. Each dish is designed to highlight specific ingredients and culinary techniques.
The main flavors and ingredients are dish-dependent. Examples could include: Italian pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces, fresh herbs (basil, oregano), garlic, and Parmesan cheese; Meat dishes cooked with various herbs and spices, vegetables, and potentially wine reductions; Seafood dishes using fresh catches prepared with lemon, butter, garlic, and other complementary spices.
