Asiago Smashed Potatoes. Although this side item is not currently on our menu, it is a great Italian version of mashed potatoes utilizing asiago cheese. Asiago cheese is an aged cow's milk cheese from Vicenza in Northern Italy. When it was on the menu a few years back, it was paired with the Prosciutto Wrapped Filet.
