WEEK 119 MENU: June 28 - July 3, 2022

Puglia: Frugality & Abundance

Puglia, at the heel, highlights the desirable qualities of Italian life that draws us all to this amazing country. It is scattered with Baroque architecture, pristine wilderness and wonderful beaches, charming villages, olive and citrus groves, underground caves and Roman ruins. Puglia’s agricultural heritage and enviable coasts make it the perfect place for great food. Ironically, this is “cucina povera,” though rich in produce and ingredients. Here there is a straightforward and practical attitude towards food. Its cooks are creative and have an enormous capacity of making something out of nothing.

WEEK 119 WINE - Critically Acclaimed wine

Tormaresca Torcicoda, Primitivo 2017

Torcicoda 2017 is an intense ruby red color with light violet hues. On the nose, it offers intense fruity notes of plums well-integrated with spicy, sweet sensations of chocolate, licorice and tobacco. Soft and generous on the palate, Torcicoda has excellent structure with elegant tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Critical Acclaim

"Rich primitivo with dried berries and dark-chocolate and citrus undertones. Full and juicy. Fresh acidity. Lightly chewy tannins." James Suckling - 92 points

"Dense dark-berry aromas are lifted by plenty of violet, graphite and potpourri spice on the nose. There's a creaminess to the dark fruit on the palate, with warm baking spice tones and firm tannins giving grip and bright acidity lifting it up." Wine Enthusiast - 90 points

EVERY SUNDAY: Prime Rib Sunday Supper

Our Sunday night Prime Rib Supper is designed to deliver good, solid comfort food to nurture both the flesh and the spirit. We slow-roast our herb-crusted prime rib for hours, and serve it sliced thick with a rich beef jus reduction and crispy steak fries, fresh salad, rosemary focaccia and our Tuscan tiramisu. We are also offering three tiers of wine that go beautifully with supper. Enjoy!

EVERY SUNDAY: Fried Chicken Meal

At our little Trattoria in Tuscany we were famous for our "Pollo Fritto," fried chicken. The Florentines would drive out to visit us in the country on the weekends and we would always sell out. I am proud to say that my American friends and customers (even those from the South!) seem to have also fallen in love with my recipe so I am starting a new tradition. On Sundays I will be frying up my recipe -- this time for the Washingtonians.

And now we have perfected a Gluten-Free version that is equally delicious and have created an entire menu that is gluten-free to accompany.
