Antipasti

A tavola! 

Being called to the dinner table in Italy is always a pleasant surprise. Imagine a table covered with platters of prosciutto and salumi, dishes with artichoke hearts marinated in abundant olive oil, sundried tomatoes, a basket filled with flaky taralli, bowls of green and black olives, a big plate full of crostini with anchovies and butter, a large Pinzimonio to dip in extra virgin olive oil, as well as a few bottles of crisp white wine to accompany everthing. What a perfect way to start a meal...
