Molten Chicken Parmigiana

The Molten Chicken Parmigiana is a signature entree at News Cafe, newly introduced during the restaurant's 2023 revitalization. It is widely recognized for its dramatic tableside presentation and remains a top-rated item in 2026.

Dish Composition & Presentation

1. Tableside Finishing: The dish is served "deconstructed" to maintain texture. A crispy, breaded chicken breast arrives at the table bare, after which a server pours a bubbling mixture of marinara sauce and molten mozzarella directly from a hot skillet over the chicken.
2. Sides: The entree is traditionally served over a bed of linguine marinara.
3. Culinary Intent: This method is designed to keep the breaded chicken breast crispy until the moment of consumption, avoiding the sogginess sometimes associated with traditional preparation.

Key Details (2026)

1. Price: As of early 2026, the dish is priced at $32.00.
