Best Italian Recipes

Sweet and sour sardines:

This is a delicious Venetian dish, its originates in the Middle East, and consists of sardines marinated in vinegar and raisins or currants. In order for the fish to fully absorb the sweet and sour flavors, Sarde in Saor is best when made in advance.

The dish’s story begins in Sicily in the 15th century, where over 100,000 Jews were living. Their economic role was so important that when the Inquisition swept through the Spanish controlled territories, which included Sicily. Eventually political pressure forced Sicily to participate in the religious persecution, but not before the Viceroy was able to warn the Jews of the imminent danger and advise them to escape. So they escaped to Naples, Rome, Ferrara and Venice, and took with them their precious culinary traditions. Today, over 500 years later, Sarde in Saor is an integral part of Venice’s culture. Traditionally it is served during the city’s holiday, Feast of the Redeemer, a day of thanks and atonement that dates back to its great plague of 1576.

Enjoy Her Majesty the Florentine Tbone Steak

TransferCS — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:07:56 +0000

Our special excursion will take you into a funny and tasty evening to the Worldwide known: ANTICA MACELLERIA CECCHINI
Dario Cecchini ( the poet butcher) says: For the last 35 years I have been a butcher, seeking to better myself in my art, and to discover the best cutting and cooking methods for each piece of meat. My goal is to respect the animal by using every part in the best way possible. In my shop, where hospitality is sacred, you can buy beef, pork, and when in season, lamb. In my restaurants, where you will dine “in convivio” together with other guests, you have the possibility to appreciate, I hope, the results of my search for quality. The wine, olive oil, herbs and many other products come from my small estate located 3 kilometres from the butcher shop.The “Officina della Bistecca” is a convivial way of answering the difficult question of the perfect way of cooking Her Majesty the ” Bistecca alla Fiorentina” and Her Sisters the “Costata” ( pork ribs) and the Panzanese steak. We await you with the grill lit, to enjoy together good food, good wine, friendship and lots of beautiful steaks to devour.

Open: Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm and on Sunday at 1:00 pm. For private groups of friends, we are happy to organize dinner on other days.
