ENJOY THE BOUNTIES OF ITALY’S LAZIO AREA IN OUR NEXT REGIONAL DINNER ON MAY 30

Once again, Cibo is proud to present a unique dining experience featuring the traditional cuisine of the Lazio region. Come enjoy the bounty of Italy’s most populated region, that includes Rome. Lazio comes from the latin word “latus” which means flat and the land truly is one of flat and gently rolling hills. The rich soil encourages the growth of all kinds of herbs and vegetables. The use of anchovies is prevalent in many dishes, and this is also the land that gave us carbonarra and arrabiata pastas. The menu includes:

Artichokes alla guida - Crispy fried artichoke, lemon

Trippa alla Trastverina - Tomato, clove, pecorino and mint

Gnocchi alla romana - Butter and Parmesan

Veal saltimoboca - Braised cima de rape
