Italian term or phrase: signori della casa
A new restaurant:

Pane e olio sono i signori della casa. La perfetta fusione delle loro fragranze è l'armonia su cui compone lo chef.

Not sure how to render this. I did think of "lords of the manor", but perhaps a less literal translation is better. Thanks for any suggestions.

Headliner / Headliner dish


Explanation:
I like this term. It is a little more neutral and general than any literal translation for "signori" that personifies the dishes, but I think doing risks being a little over-emphatic for an English text. "Headliner" is also very widely used in restaurant review.

"Headliner
noun
1. a performer whose name appears mo
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/headliner?s=t

Example sentence(s):
  • "The HEADLINER antipasti is vegetarian courtesy of the signature sformato (a savory soufflé/custard dish that looks like panna cotta). "
  • "But the HEADLINER DISH is that crispy red snapper, its meat neatly carved to hang off the spine, so all you have to do is cut off the crackling fillets and enjoy."
