One of the best ways to enjoy truffles is every way possible. To celebrate, Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel is hosting a four-course dinner for $175 per person dedicated to white truffles and wines of Piedmont.  First dish starts off with white truffle and shallot confit aioli; from there, move onto Perigord black truffles with diver sea scallops. The third course rolls out Alba white truffles with lemon ricotta and egg yolk followed by venison Noisette with black and white truffles. For dessert, think black cocoa truffle cake with pistachio gelato.
