Olive groves are abundant throughout the hills of Italy because the trees grow best when their shallow roots stay dry. Olive trees flourish when they’re exposed to a period of cold in the winter to produce fruit, which makes Marche an ideal region to grow olives. Marche has the right amount of cool weather, lots of hills and hot dry summers. Join us for dinner now through September 16th as we celebrate the traditional cuisine of Marche and enjoy Spaghettini alle Olive e Peperoncino: spaghettini tossed with extra-virgin olive oil, green picholine, Cerignola & black olives, Italian peperoncino & garlic-Parmigiano breadcrumbs!
