In the heart of Italy, the intersection of tradition and modernity comes alive during Halloween, a celebration that some embrace while others view with skepticism. This year, the festive spirit is being championed by none other than chef Alessandro Borghese, who is ready to transform his renowned restaurants in Milan and Venice into epicenters of Halloween joy. With a special menu inspired by the chilling world of Stephen King, the culinary experience promises to be as thrilling as it is delicious.
As reported by the team at Leggo, Borghese’s venues will host a unique event named HallowIT, drawing inspiration from King’s iconic horror novel and its recent adaptations for film and television. Guests can expect an evening filled with eerie delights and thematic décor that captures the essence of this beloved yet terrifying story.
Halloween Festivities Await
Both the Milan and Venice locations of **“AB – The Luxury of Simplicity”** are gearing up for a spine-tingling celebration of Halloween. From **October 30** through **November 2**, patrons will be welcomed into a world adorned with thematic decorations and culinary creations inspired by the infamous clown from IT, including a pumpkin dessert and an edible red balloon.
A Delectable Pumpkin Dessert
At the Milan restaurant located at viale Belisario 3, guests can indulge in a **pumpkin mousse** that combines smooth creaminess with a pistachio dacquoise, raspberry gel, and a light pineapple veil. Chef Borghese has artfully played with textures and colors, evoking the chilling imagery of IT while ensuring that the dessert is a visual feast. This delightful treat is priced at 22 euros and is a must-try for those looking to savor the flavors of the season.
But the homage to Stephen King doesn’t end there; the restaurant’s ambiance will be transformed with **red balloons and paper props** that immerse diners in Pennywise’s haunting narrative.
The Edible Balloon Experience
In Venice, at the stunning Ca’ Vendramin Calergi, where the casino overlooks the Grand Canal, the legendary **red balloon** takes center stage. A symbol of IT, this dish goes beyond mere homage. The chef has crafted a unique interpretation featuring a mousse made from chicken livers seasoned with bourbon pepper, all encased in a fermented pomegranate glaze. This is not just a playful nod to the story; it’s a dish meant to be savored in its entirety, available in all tasting menus for those who dare to try.
