Where the recipes come from
The recipes belong to the family — the family business started in Milan in the 1980s, with our parents. The carbonara, the ragù, the pizza dough are theirs. The Yorkshire beef and the Hispi cabbage we picked up here.
01
The base for every red pizza. Naples-grown D.O.P. tomatoes, peeled by hand, never tinned with sugar.
02
Cured pig cheek, not bacon. The fat melts into the pasta — that's why the carbonara doesn't need cream.
03
Sheep's-milk cheese from Lazio. Sharper than parmesan, salty, the right bite for a cacio e pepe.
04
Grass-fed, 28-day aged. Rib-eye on the bone, sliced tableside, served with truffle parmesan fries.
The carbonara
Eggs, pecorino, pepper, guanciale. Tossed off the heat. The silk in a real carbonara is the egg yolk meeting the rendered pork fat — not a single drop of double cream is needed, and we don't ship one out.
"If your carbonara needs cream, your guanciale wasn't fatty enough."
