Menu
Prosciutto-wrapped figs w/balsamic
Prosciutto is an Italian dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and served uncooked wrapped around a fig (fruit) and served with balsamic, is a very dark, concentrated, and intensely flavoured vinegar originating in Italy, made wholly or partially from freshly crushed grape juice with all the skins, seeds and stems (known as grape must).
Trenette Col Pesto
Trenette, so-called because they're thought to resemble train tracks, are a Ligurian version of linguine. This version of this Ligurian pasta dish consists of trenette noodles (or bavette, alternatively) and pesto Genovese basil sauce - another Ligurian specialty that hails from the city of Genova.
Herb-Roasted Whole Branzino with Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Olives
Branzino, or European Sea Bass, is an iconic Mediterranean fish that ranges from one to three pounds. It has delicate, white flesh and a mild, almost sweet flavor. Its few small bones make for easy filleting or preparing whole, stuffed with lemon and herbs such as parsley.
Zuppa Inglese
Zuppa Inglese is an Italian dessert layering custard and sponge cake.
