Italian Antipasti: Caprese with Balsamic Glaze
If you’re new to Italian antipasti, caprese is a simple palate-pleasing dish made from thick-sliced tomatoes stacked with fresh mozzarella and herbaceous basil drizzled in a balsamic glaze. We top each caprese stack with a light serving of extra olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper. This refreshing, summertime dish is best served cold while dining alfresco. Our homemade caprese costs only $6.95 and is available on our dinner menu. You can also make your caprese at home by shopping for the ingredients within our marketplace!
Antipasto Plates Stacked with Italian Meats, Briny Olives, Imported Provolone, Marinated Mushrooms and Artichokes
All Italian get-togethers require an antipasto plate fit to feed la famiglia. Our antipasto plate is stacked with dry-cured Italian meats: sopressata, prosciutto, speck, dry sausage, porchetta, and calabria. We pair our antipasto plates with imported provolone, artichokes, briny olives, marinated mushrooms, and a homemade olive and giardiniera spread. Each antipasto plate comes with garlic bread perfect for loading up. Dig in on our dinner menu for only $16.95!
