New St. Regis Deer Valley Restaurant Opens
The St. Regis Deer Valley has opened a new, high-design Italian restaurant called La Stellina (“Little Star”), located in the Resort’s Snow Park Building, easily reached from the Resort’s main building, and also accessible from the Resort’s Lower Funicular Building via covered walkway.
La Stellina serves classic Italian cuisine under the guidance of Chef Matthew Harris, who trained in Italy with Italian cesarine – home cooks who teach from the comfort of their own family kitchens. Harris and the folks at La Stellina said, “. Safeguards of Italy’s cultural heritage, cesarines’ recipes have been passed down for generations. Mozzarella is hand-pulled to perfection as a copper-tiled pizza oven soars above 500°F to achieve the right temperature for classic, crispy pies. Simple, fresh ingredients translate into sophisticated flavors at this innovative restaurant. Locally sourced produce combines with authentic Italian meats, cheeses, and pastas to create dishes that appeal to every age and every palate.”
“La Stellina is a chef’s dream,” said Chef Matthew Harris. “Under the tutelage of several Italian cesarines, I learned to cook true, authentic Italian food. I am thrilled to offer the timeless combination of locally-sourced fresh ingredients with Italian meats and cheeses to create the finest in Italian dining for our guests.”
Starters include Compressed Melon with Prosciutto and Aged Balsamic; and La Stellina Panzanella with Focaccia, Cured Tomatoes, Olives, Chicory, Basil and Ricotta Salata. Main Courses include “Cioppino” with Clams, Mussels, Shrimp, Squid, White Wine, Basil and Focaccia; and Whole Roasted Branzino with Broccolini and Lemon; Crispy Chicken Piccata with Lemon, Capers, Black Pepper, Arugula and Parmesan.
