AUTUMN BRUSCHETTA with extra virgin olive oil
Rustic and with humble origins, it tells a story of necessity and sharing. It is said that bruschetta was born from the need to make bread last when it was scarce, but today, it's one of the most beloved and versatile appetizers.
A dish for all ages, all tastes, and all seasons, but we imagine it with the colors, flavors and atmosphere of autumn.
PINSA with mortadella, pecorino cheese, and balsamic dressing
It is said that its name comes from the Latin verb “pinsère” which meant “to stretch”, and indeed the traditional and characteristic shape of pinsa is just that: stretched. Similar to pizza, but very different in both shape and flavor, pinsa is made through a long leavening process, a mix of flours, and a dough rich in water that gives it extraordinary digestibility.
Our pinsa with mortadella, pecorino, and Goccia Nera balsamic dressing is a colorful and flavorful delight, genuine and nutritious, that will win over both adults and children.
