White truffle season is fleeting, usually lasting only until late December or early January, and these restaurants offer a rare chance to savour its exquisite aroma and flavours. From decadent pastas to luxurious meat dishes, each creation celebrates the white truffle’s allure and the personal touch of the chefs crafting them, turning every bite into a moment of exquisite delight that lingers long after the season ends.
