Da Paolo makes hosting a breeze this season with an Italian Christmas roast bundle ($328), good for six hungry folks or up to a big group of 12. The bundle comes with your choice of roast, sides of pumpkin and couscous salad, and a flourless Valrhona chocolate log cake. Pick either the stuffed boneless roast chicken with vegetables and truffle gravy (for six to eight pax) or the boneless roast turkey stuffed with truffles and duck leg meat (for 10 to 12 pax). For larger gatherings, you might want to top up for the honey baked ham ($178) good for 10 people, or for variety, the tender beef shank pie with black truffle and foie gras ($218) good for eight. Aiming for the title of hostess with the mostest? Treat your guests to Da Paolo’s newest festive offering – an artfully presented smoked salmon terrine ($168) featuring layers of dill cream cheese, zucchini, and spinach encased in applewood smoked Norwegian salmon.
