Our featured wine today is Barbaresco ‘Auntinbej.’ Chef Luca Maderino believes this wine represents the soul of Italy. This wine works incredibly well when it’s paired with food. He says: It’s elegant and when it’s paired with the right dish it explodes on the palate. Made from the Nebbiolo grape the Austrian General Melas drank it to celebrate his victory over the French in 1799. It has tasting notes of black cherry, spice, menthol, licorice and dried flowers. You’ll love it with our Ribeye Tagliata!

Ribeye Tagliata is a simple mouth watering dish that is an Italian classic. The word tagliata derives from the verb tagliare, to cut. When the meat has been cooked it is cut diagonally into slices, no thicker than one inch. Our chef Luca Manderino believes meat shouldn’t be expensive. When preparing your Ribeye Tagliata, he puts a layer of salt and pepper on it first, then sears it at a high temperature so it stays rare inside. Come and enjoy the beautiful ambiance at Sosta and experience the flavor!

Olive oil is a key ingredient in Italian cooking. As a monounsaturated fat, olive oil can help the body defend itself from heart disease because it can eliminate harmful cholesterol. Did you know the olive tree is an evergreen native to the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa? They are one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world. It can only grow properly in a warm climate. And olive oil is the only eating oil that you can get buy squeezing the fruits from a tree. We use only the best Italian olive oil in our dishes.

Because Venice is such a unique part of Italy when it comes to cuisine, we have dishes that are our very own. They unsurprisingly feature a lot of seafood and vegetables, which have been staples of the Venetian diet for centuries. One is 'Baccala,' which means creamed dried cod. This is prepared with a mixture of poaching soaking then blending it into a smooth mousse. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil, it's served on fresh-baked bread or polenta. But it is just one of... many unusual dishes from the area!

Our winelist spotlight today is on Fontodi Chianti, one of our more popular reds. This wine has deep fruit notes and mineral flavors. It's deep crimson color, and we love to serve it at Sosta Cucina with cured meats. In Italy, it's often served with wild boar. It comes from one of Tuscany's most celebrated winemakers. The Sangiovese grapes it's made from grow in an area nicknamed the 'golden shell.' The land has excellent exposure to the sun with soil, including a mix of clay..., limestone, and shale. When you take a sip of Chianti, you think of cherries, violets, leather, and vanilla. It is a straightforward wine on the palate and is best enjoyed with hearty, simple food. In Venice, it is traditionally serviced with bean soup, a staple dish of the region. See more

Crudo Di Dentice, which is our Crudo of New Zealand Snapper with olive oil, is one of our very popular starters. This dish is fresh, meaty, and light. We make our own chili oil at Sosta Cucina, which gives our Snapper Crudo a little kick. Snapper has a higher fat content than Branzino, which is European sea bass. The word 'crudo' refers to the Italian word for raw. The term crudo can apply to raw beef, or seafood as well as fish. Don't get it mixed up with 'ceviche', which originates in central and South America. Ceviche is a particular dish and always includes seafood, which is marinated in lime juice.

Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish that comes originally from Rome. The sauce is made with egg, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. Its origins are thought to be back in the early 1800s. It is comparable to a dish that was initially made with melted lard, eggs, and cheese. This delicious staple is usually served with Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or both together. Spaghetti pasta is the most popular choice. But it can also be served with fettuccine, linguine, or bucatini pasta.
