Tosa’s Le Reve to Host Dinner With Sheboygan’s Trattoria Stefano

Homemade rigatoni with braised local meat ragu and lamb chops with sheep’s milk gratin are part of this six-course European-inspired meal.

Next month, Tosa’s Le Rêve Patisserie & Café is hosting “A European Dinner in the Midwest,” a meal that teams the chefs from the French restaurant with the team behind Sheboygan’s Trattoria Stefano, including owner Stefano Viglietti. The dinner is Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

The six-course meal, served with Italian and French wine pairings, includes parsnip and roasted pear soup with smoked duck carpaccio and fresh figs; Neapolitan ragu of braised local meats and San Marzano tomato sauce in house-made rigatoni; seared dayboat scallops with white shrimp, steamed mussels, prosciutto-wrapped kale and crispy sunchokes; and grilled Pinn-Oak Ridge Farms lamb chop with smoky tomato conserva and sheep’s milk gratin. Dessert is warm candied orange brioche with mascarpone-spice ice cream and biscotti crumble, served with Stefano’s house-made limoncello.

The cost is $85 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Call 414-778-3333 or visit the website to make a reservation. (7610 Harwood Ave.)
