Oliverio has a new plan to catch chocoholics, debuting an evening all-you-can=eat dessert buffet every Friday and Saturday called “Choco-Sutra.” While they certainly don’t win any prizes for the name, there are some pretty original takes on dessert making their way to this poolside party, which sounds kind of like those overindulgent food-orgies that get busted out on cruise ships, only this time you don’t have to see the same 200 fat people every day. What can you expect?
Chef Mirko Paderno’s menus are subject to change, but include offerings like a triple chocolate pizza topped with white chocolate shavings resembling truffles, ice cream shooters, red chili pot de creme, chocolate blinis, and chocolate pancakes. What, no chocolate stent for our hearts? $28 buys all the desserts you can handle, with the price reduced to $17 if you can possibly manage to fit in dinner first. The feast kicks off this Friday at 7:30 P.M. See the buffet menu below.
