Tenuta Vannulo

in Naples, Comfort, Dessert, Italy, The Milky Way, Italian 4 comments

Naples, Italy (The Joy of Food) — Buffalo mozzarella is the pinnacle of dairy: that wondrous thing somewhere between yogurt and custard and cottage cheese and ricotta. Somehow, it manages to be both solid and liquid at the same time. When cut, it will weep outwardly in a perfect river […]

Rosetta Bakery

Miami, FL (The Joy of Food) — Entire religions have been founded on miracles less profound than the Italian bombolone, a type of doughnut that’s deep-fried and then filled with custards, creams, or hazelnut (the mighty Nutella, of course). To find this type of fried carbo perfection in Miami Beach, […]

Buona Forchetta - regina margherita pizza

Garage Buona Forchetta

in Carbapalooza, United States, Italian, San Diego, CA 2 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — If you’ve arrived in Coronado to dine at Buona Forchetta, you’ll need to look for the hot pink ‘Garage’ sign lit up on one side, formerly El Cordova Garage and now one of San Diego’s most decent places to find pizza. I […]

Roma Sparita

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Rome, Italy, Italian 2 comments

Rome, Italy (The Joy of Food) — Visitors to Italy seeking traditional Roman dishes will enjoy Roma Sparita, but it comes with a serving of dislike toward Americans. And not just a small serving, but a huge, heaping, palpable side of burning hatred, over-sized like everything else in Rome. This […]

Cesarina

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — For the record people, it’s CHES-arina. Not SEZ-arina or, even worse, KES-arina. A “c” in Italian almost always comes out as a soft “ch” sound when it’s followed by an “e” or an “i.” This is the rule 99% of the time. […]

Caffè Calabria

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — You can take the girl out of Naples, but you can’t take Naples out of the girl. I knew Caffè Calabria was legit the first time I stepped inside and the scent in the air was a swirling mix of coffee, coal, […]

Obicà Mozzarella Bar

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Healthy, Los Angeles, CA, United States, The Milky Way, Italian 1 comment

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — A trough of cheese is the happiest of lunches for me, but some accompanying tapenade, pestos, vegetables, and salumi can make the meal more well-rounded. They use the good stuff here. Obicà achieved a small reputation as the world’s first mozzarella bar […]

Pizzarium

Rome, Italy (The Joy of Food) — If Italy has a modern-day Michelangelo, it would be the man behind the curtain at Pizzarium: Gabriele Bonci. Bonci, known for his light-as-air crust and his complete disregard for toppings of the traditional kind, makes sure his dough undergoes a 72-hour rising process. […]
