Ninety percent of the original dishes have been replaced at Danieli's, Ferri said, and the new concept encompasses authentic Italian dishes combining both northern and southern Italian cuisines.

To be specific, diners could select from the bright, lively Mediterranean taste of southern Italian style with olive oil and fresh steamed seafood, and also richer meaty dishes with cream sauces from the county's north.

Some signature dishes of Ferri's new a la carte menu at Danieli's include ravioli with red onion, pecorino cheese, and saffron; Milanese-style slow cooked pork with mustard sauce, beetroot and broccoli; and cod with caviar, mashed carrot and baby spinach.
