As far as I know erborinati is referred to cheese like gorgonzola, with green 'veins'.
I seem to remember thay are called marbled cheese.

: I was late--this sounds better on a menu :-) But I would use cheeses plural.

: FYI - my book of cheeses also calls them "blue cheeses", including gorgonzola -- despite its green veins! Also "veined cheese".

mold-ripened cheeses
Or since it is on a menu, you might just say the names of the cheeses straight out.

blue cheese
The equivalent term in English is "blue (or "blue-veined") cheese". In fact, the Italian "erborinato" also refers to the colour for it comes from the Lombard dialect word for "parsley green" ("erborin").
The classic "blue cheese" is, of course, Stilton: http://www.stiltoncheese.com/
"Blue cheese" was also the term we adopted for "erborinato" for the translation of the Slow Food Editore volume "Italian Cheese", available in all good bookshops for a miserly 14 euros.
