Settles by the Greeks and then dominated by the Etruscans, Samnites, ans Romans, the southern region of Campania is more densely populated along the coast then island, where hills and mountains make for harsher living.  Profoundly influenced by the Normans, who conquered the region in the eleventh century, Campania later belonged to the Kingdom to the Two Sicilies, which comprised the Bourbon territory of Sicily and Naples.  Near the busy capital city of Naples, Mount Vesuvius reigns impassive and foreboding, a daily reminder of the eruption of August 24, 79A.D., when nearby cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae were covered in red-hot lava and a cloud of ashes.  But the volcanic soil arounf Mout Vesuvius has also ensured Campania fertile land where some of Italy's tastiest producce is grown, ready to be shipped and enjoyed all over the world.

Calabria Regional Wine Dinner June 20 - 25

Prix Fixe $55

Add Wine Pairing $30

Calabria

Calabria occupies the toe of the country's boot shaped peninsula.  It's a sun baked region of rugged mountains, old fashioned villages, and a dramatic coastline.  It's one of Italy's oldest regions and has a low population and low tourist presence.  Calabrian cooking strikes a beautiful balance between meat based dishes, vegetables, and fish, especially pork, eggplant, and swordfish, all flavored with richly fragrant mountain herbs.  With respect to inhabitants of other regions, Calabrians have traditionally placed a greater emphasis on preserving their foods, in part because the heat and dryness of hte mountains inland make crop failure a distinct possibility, so the people of the region typically plan ahead, packing meat and vegetables in oil, preparing cold cuts, and along the coast, curing their fish. Calabrian cooking has become immensely popular ans is said to be some of the healthiest Italian styles.

Lazio

From antiquity forward, people have been drawn to the Lazio region because of the prospect of work in or near its most important city, Rome, which has almost always been seen as a place where the poor might be able to change their fortunes. As people migrate to an area, they bring their tastes in food with them, helping to shape the local palate.

Abruzzo Regional Menu

Prix Fixe $55

Add Wine Pairing $30

The traditional cuisine of Abruzzo; it is very wide and is originally from the traditions of both pastoral and mountainous inland areas that marinate in the coastal zone; among the foods most commonly used are: bread, pasta, meat, cheese and wine. The isolation that has characterized the region for decades has ensured that it maintained a culinary art alive and independent. Abruzzo boasts a cuisine distinct within Italy, well known for its variety and richness owing to the heterogeneity of its territory. The mountainous, agricultural, and coastal aspects of Abruzzo have contributed to its cuisine. Due to the mountains themselves, much of Abruzzese cuisine grew separated from the influence of international commerce and civilization until the 20th century, fostering a unique culinary tradition.

Marche

One of Italy’s hidden gems is Le Marche Region, which has historically played third fiddle to its more popular neighbors, Tuscany and Umbria.  Much of the region remains relatively tourist- free and unknown, including its deeply traditional food – blessed with bounty from the mountains, farmland, and sea.  Le Marche produces a varied, seasonal cuisine and truly distinctive wines.  Cooking in Marche is deeply rooted in peasant tradition.  The use of fresh, top quality materials assembled with the minimum of fuss marks marcheigiano food.  But as dishes are strictly based on tradition and local produce, each local area has its distinctive cuciana tipica.
