Cuore d'Italia

The Bold South: Calabria

We begin our voyage in the sun-drenched hills of Calabria. Experience our Sacchetti, or “Beggar’s Purses.” These hand-gathered pouches are cinched at the top to lock in a fiery heart of spicy Soppressata, ’Nduja, and smooth cream cheese, served in a silky rosé sauce with a signature drizzle of Calabrian chili oil.

The Island Tradition: Sardinia

Next, we cross to the rugged island of Sardinia to witness the masterpiece of pasta craft: the Culurgiones. Each piece is sealed with the spighitta—an intricate hand-stitched wheat-ear braid. We’ve filled these with a refined blend of artichoke and Parmesan, resting on a lush cream sauce with the scent of white truffle.

The Heartland: Emilia-Romagna

Our tour moves to the culinary capital of Italy for the Cappelletti. Modelled after medieval “Little Hats,” these are hand-folded into a classic navel shape. Inside, you’ll find a delicate traditional filling of spinach and ricotta, tossed in an aromatic sage-infused butter sauce.

The Golden Hills: Piedmont

In the misty Northwest, we find the Agnolotti del Plin. These tiny, rectangular envelopes are made using a signature “pinch” (plin) to create a pocket for the sauce. We have elevated this Piedmontese staple with a luxurious seafood stuffing, served over a rich, velvety lobster bisque with sweet cherry tomatoes.

The Celebration: Lombardy

Before we reach our final destination, we stop in Lombardy for the Caramelle. Wrapped like festive candies, these spinach-infused pasta twists are a gift for the palate. Stuffed with savoury mushroom and slow-braised beef, they are paired with a vibrant roasted red pepper sauce and the crunch of golden fried onions.

The Sweet Finale: The Alps

No journey is complete without a parting gift. Our Choco-Mezzalune is a cocoa-infused “Half-Moon” pasta, deep-fried to a golden crisp. Stuffed with molten Nutella and served with cool vanilla gelato, it is the perfect end to your Italian pilgrimage.
