Chicken Parmesan
This is a very true to form version of chicken farm. We are using green circle chickens, the breasts are deboned, cut in half and pounded into cutlets. The cutlets are then breaded (flour, egg wash, bread crumb with parmesan and oregano) and pan fried in olive oil. Once crisped on the outside the cutlets are topped with our crushed tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese and baked in the pizza oven. The two cutlets are plated and garnished with fresh basil, parmesan, sea salt and olio verde. A portion is one single chicken breast, this is a slightly smaller portion than a standard entree as it does not come with any sides. We’d encourage our guests to order a small portion rigatoni or conchiglie as an accompaniment


Conchiglie AlfredoWe’re using our house made semolina conchiglie for this dish (semolina flour, durum flour, whole eggs, and egg yolks). The cooked pasta is tossed with a buttermilk mornay sauce (butter, flour, buttermilk, parmesan and pecorino cheese) along with a little heavy cream,  and olio verde. It is garnished with parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper.

Rigatoni PomodoroPossibly most classic red sauce pasta sauce literally rigatoni and tomato. Rigatoni is a circular shaped pasta, ours is made in house using 00 flour, durum flour, semolina flour, and water. For the sauce we’re using san marzano tomatoes, cooked with olive oil, garlic, and basil. We use both crushed tomatoes that have been cooked for about 45 minutes to enhance their sweetness, and food milled tomatoes that are only cooked very briefly to give a bright fresh acidity. the pasta is finished with parmesan cheese and olio verde.

Torta Rustica
A classic Sicilian Easter dish this 'pie' is made using pizza dough as a base. The dough is used to line a small cast iron skillet, and is then filled with fontina, mozzarella, sliced potato, speck, rosemary, roasted garlic, and broccoli rabe. Then torta is then capped with more pizza dough and baked. It is served whole, garnished with parmesan, oregano, and fennel pollen, along with a side of crushed tomato sauce (san marzano tomato, garlic, olive oil, basil).
