Take a look at this amazing menu for a four course Italian meal, accompanied by carefully-selected matching liqueurs and wines to complement each course. For the appetizer, baked baby bell mushrooms stuffed with Italian sausage and paired with Piedmont Barbera d’Asti or Lambrusco will be served. The first course features Zuppa Toscana soup, a slow cooked and simmered traditional dinner soup from Tuscany, featuring bacon, sausage, cauliflower, and kale. The wine pairing will be a Northern Italian Pinot Grigio. The second course is Chicken Parmesan, a true rendition of this dish, featuring a Red Bird half chicken breast with marinara sauce, smothered with fresh sliced mozzarella, and topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese.  This dish will be served with pasta and either (depending on availability and quality) garlic parmesan roasted asparagus or Italian green beans (Fagiolini) with toasted almonds and fresh parmesan. The wine pairing is Chianti Classico from Tuscany. If you are not too full, you can enjoy Torta Caprese (flourless chocolate cake) with homemade pistachio ice cream. The after dinner liqueur pairings are Frangelico and Amaretto, with Italian Dream as an optional dessert cocktail.
