Capricciosa pizza
'A knock-out. The busy fallout of toppings (mushrooms, olives, fresh mozzarella, tomato, parmacotto and artichokes) come strewn sparingly, so that the effect is delicate and understated, and each ingredient has its moment to shine.'
Raphael Kadushin, Cafe Porta Alba
Pork empanada
'Encased in the traditional half-moon pastry crust. Terrific ' the pulled pork faintly aromatic with spices, the crust flaky and fresh.'
Jerry Minnich, Cafà Costa Rica
Ribollita
'Real cause for celebration, a soup of beans, Tuscan kale and creamy polenta that is Mama-worthy.'
Raphael Kadushin, Osteria Papavero
