Explanation:
Maybe:.... "Display of selected cheeses and finger/fried food"
Or:..........."Selection of cheeses and fried food on display"

To me this term contains the visual idea of laying food out for guests. "Display" of food usually suggests that it has been nicely prepared and laid out, which is probably the case here, but does not imply anything too specific.

The friggitoria refers to the frying process, not the products. The frying is done in front of you and the products may be displayed at the buffet, but they can't be left too long or they aren't very good - hence the need for a way to make it fresh.
