A blend of Old World culinary traditions with New World ingredients, Italian-American cooking has a delicious character all its own. We celebrate this distinctive cuisine with classic recipes like savory calzones, a specialty of southern Italy. Ours are filled with sausage, bell peppers and two kinds of cheeses. Other homey favorites include Bolognese sauce, Italian wedding soup and, of course, spaghetti with meatballs.
You’ll also find some creative variations. For a clever twist on chicken Parmesan, we transform the ingredients into tasty grilled sandwiches. Our frittata recipe incorporates the flavors of lasagna into a hearty egg dish that’s ideal for a weekend brunch.
