Traditional Italian Food

PIZZA

Pizza is the queen of cuisine. There are so many types and styles of pizza, it's hard to know where to start. The classic combination of bread, cheese and tomato sauce is a favorite for a reason: it's simple, delicious and versatile. You can top your pizza with pretty much anything you like, from pepperoni to pineapple. And don't forget the garlic knots!

LASAGNE

Lasagne is a popular Italian dish that is made with pasta, meat sauce, and cheese. The dish can be made with different types of pasta, including lasagna noodles, cannelloni tubes, or even flat sheets of dough. The traditional version of the dish calls for a béchamel sauce, which is made from butter, flour, and milk. However, there are many variations of the recipe that include different meats and vegetables.

RISOTTO

Risotto italiano is a classic italian dish that is simple to make, yet full of flavor. The key to a great risotto is to use a good quality arborio rice and to patiently stir the risotto while adding the broth, one ladle at a time. This ensures that the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the flavors of the broth. Risotto italiano can be made with any variety of meats or vegetables

OSSO BUCCO

Osso bucco is an Italian dish of braised veal shanks. The name means "bone with a hole" in Italian, referring to the marrow hole in the center of the bone. The dish is often garnished with gremolata, a mixture of parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. It is typically served with risotto or mashed potatoes.

PESCE SPADA

SWORDFISH SICILIAN STYLE - The 'seafood steak' seasoned in the tastiest way imaginable, with cherry tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and oregano.

GELATO

Gelato is known as the king of desserts for its rich and creamy flavor. This Italian dish is made with milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolks, which are all boiled together to create a custard. Gelato is then flavored with various fruits or nuts, and often served with a chocolate or caramel sauce.
