Three weeks ago I embarked on my new adventure, Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto, a 20-seat salumeria con cucina on the Upper West Side. Even before the restaurant opened we had people peering in, asking for menus, inquiring about our salamis, and trying to pencil their names in the reservation books. Now that the doors are officially open, our dinner seating chart has been like a Sudoku puzzle - trying to figure out who goes where, how, when - due to a packed house every single evening. Lunch service kicked off on Saturday, and breakfast will be served come the New Year. My favorites aspects of the restaurant are, of course, the exceptional selections of imported (and handpicked stateside distributers) salami, prosciutti and cheeses. You can't find bigger, better, more delectable salamis in the whole of New York City. Of equal importance, the Salumeria Rosi staff keeps me going and gets this entire thing rolling each day.
Stay tuned for happenings around the Salumeria, special features of some of my favorite products, and musings on food, drink and anything Italian.
Ciao!
Cesare
