Uma Estrela : uma cozinha de grande nivel

It is highly rare for a tasting menu to leave one feeling—well—energized, but so goes the imaginative cooking at this vegetable-focused gem where local farms are the very essence of this passionate operation. The imaginative compositions from Chef Rob Rubba and his team offer delicious insights into what is possible with vegetables. There is true creativity here, as in a pasta course which features agnolotti filled with a creamy eggplant and house-grown mushrooms, served brodo-style with a roasted corn broth and accompanied by a truffle tart. Even bread service is special—enriched with "garleeks" and accompanied by sunflower seed and marigold "butter." A baton of summer squash is elevated by a filling of pumpkin seed "ricotta."

"We use only local, organic, regenerative, and seasonal ingredients. Our zero-waste kitchen ferments scraps, reuses bread and avoids single-use plastics. We use Pennsylvania maple sugar and local honey, turn used oil and shells into candles, bottles into plates, and source local ceramics. Menus are printed on wildflower seed paper to promote pollinators; LED lighting and induction cooking is used throughout."
