ITALIAN APERITIVO
Being together is an art that, like any other, comes from a desire and a need: to share the things that bring us joy. And in Italy, the aperitivo is often a real masterpiece. If the table is your canvas, then the flavors and colors you choose are your brushstrokes—and nothing is left to chance. That’s why we imagined a Mediterranean-inspired creation that pairs the sweetness of Tuscan prosciutto with the fragrant crunch of our Rosemary crackers, the genuine variety of our Mediterranean antipasto with the smooth complexity of Extra virgin olive oil. The bold flavor of Tuscan salami meets the creamy tenderness of Pecorino cheese, with its unmistakable fresh-milk aroma. The vibrant red of sun-dried tomatoes and the bright green of Nocellara olives will shine like little bursts of light on your creation.
You don’t need to wait for a special occasion—this aperitivo will turn even the dullest day into something extraordinary, like a sunbeam streaming through an open window overlooking the sea.

PASTA ALLA GRICIA
Some restaurants call it “white Amatriciana,” but Pasta alla gricia has its own story and a strong identity. This traditional dish from the Lazio region owes its name to the itinerant bakers who used to cook it, or perhaps, more simply, to the place that saw its birth: the tiny village of Grisciano.
One thing’s for sure: its rich flavor and the irresistible aroma of Pecorino Romano are ready to win you over. Our Pasta alla Gricia is made with spaghetti, but feel free to try this recipe with any pasta shape you like—long or short, it’s always a success.
PICI with Aglione Sauce
Can a dish once considered "humble" become an iconic representation of one of Italy's regions richest in gastronomic culture? Absolutely— especially in the case of Pici with aglione sauce: a simple traditional recipe, whose few and healthy ingredients are true symbols of Tuscan cuisine.
Why is aglione also called “kissing garlic"? What’s the difference between pici and spaghetti? And how long does it take to make perfect Pici with aglione sauce? All your questions will be answered.
PICI cacio e pepe
When we first introduced you to our Tuscan pici, we immediately recommended trying them with Cacio e Pepe—so in a way, we made a promise. And today, we’re here to keep it.
This classic Pici Cacio e Pepe recipe is wonderfully simple to prepare. Its success lies in the extraordinary and unforgettable flavors of just three ingredients: pasta, Pecorino cheese, and black pepper. Its preparation is an opportunity to be enveloped in the scents and warmth of Tuscan cuisine, in absolute (and precious) relaxation.
