In Milan, at Peck, a wonderful upscale food store with a cafe on the second floor.
Bresaola with Robiola and Arugula:
Crespelle stuffed with Ricotta / Zucchini flowers / topped with a white sauce / cheese:
In Parma, at a Parmesan cheese producer outlet:
Parmesan Mousse with Candied Pear and aged Balsamic:
Culatello ham (only made with the tenderloin of the right leg of the pig, the one it rests on while lying down instead of the one that it stands up with!):
Probably the single best dish I ate in Italy. At a place called Pizzeria Roma Sparita in an overlooked section of town.
Pacchieri stuffed with ricotta/artichokes, topped with cherry tomatoes & pancetta chunklets and cheese:
Roma Sparita is famous for their Cacio e Pepe ( Pecorino Romano and pepper )
Trippa alla Romana in Rome!
Anniversary styles:
... On a Date in Italy continues here!
