Caprese salad is a simple Italian salad that is perfect for the antipasti course.
Antipasti
These dishes, as the name would imply, do not contain any pasta. It’s the appetizer portion of your meal. They can be hot or cold.
Primi Piatti
The second course is the pasta course. This would also be where you serve gnocchi and risotto. In other words, this is the carb course and the heart of what we imagine when we think of Italian cuisine.
Secondi Piatti
Try our authentic Italian meatballs with eggplant for your Secondi Piatti.
Don’t go too crazy with the Primi course, because following it is the meat course; typically a nice piece of fish, beef, or pork. You will also find lamb, rabbit, and quail.
Contorno
This is the veggie side dish that should accompany the Secondi course. Look for veggies that are in season and fresh from the market. The farm-to-table feel is an important component in a traditional Italian meal.
Dolce
Round off a traditional Italian meal with something sweet and a shot of espresso.
No Italian meal is complete without a dessert or something sweet to round out the meal. Complete the Dolce course with a nice fresh pressed shot of espresso.
Red wine
Of course, no Italian meal is complete without plenty of red wine to compliment every course.
