Dinner Recipes

A towering platter of assorted seafood (squid, shrimp, small fish) dusted lightly in flour and deep-fried until shatteringly crisp. A coastal Italian classic.

A show-stopping roast. Pork belly wrapped around pork loin, heavily seasoned with garlic, fennel, and rosemary, slow-roasted until the meat is melting and the skin is crackling like glass.

A dramatic, pitch-black risotto originating from Venice, flavored with the ink and tender meat of fresh cuttlefish or squid, carrying a deep briny taste of the sea.

The king of Italian steaks. A massive, thick-cut, bone-in porterhouse or T-bone from Chianina beef, grilled rare over wood coals and seasoned simply.

A rustic, robust 'hunter-style' chicken braise, cooked with tomatoes, onions, herbs, and wine. A staple of countryside Italian cooking.

Southern Italian comfort food: thin slices of beef stuffed with garlic, parsley, cheese, and sometimes pine nuts, rolled up and braised slowly in Sunday tomato sauce.

Thin escalopes of veal topped with prosciutto and fresh sage, pan-fried quickly in butter and white wine. Literally translates to 'jumps in the mouth'.

Tender, slow-braised veal shanks cooked with white wine, broth, and vegetables, traditionally finished with a bright, zesty gremolata.

Soft, tender Italian meatballs simmered slowly in a rich tomato sauce. Eaten as a main course with bread, NOT with spaghetti.

A soul-warming, thick, starchy Roman classic. Part soup, part pasta dish, cooked entirely in one pot with rosemary and garlic.

A classic Neapolitan folded pizza, baked until the crust is blistered and puffed, filled with a molten core of ricotta, salami, and mozzarella.

A hearty, thick, comforting soup made with seasonal vegetables, beans, and small pasta, topped with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese.
