Dear Food Diary:
If you thought Rossopomodoro was just a part of Eataly, you are not alone. It wasn’t until their opening (first stand alone restaurant in America) 2 weeks ago that I learned how big the “chain” actually is. The family restaurant’s headquarter resides Napoli, but they’ve brought their Southern Italian flavors far and wide. From Europe to Middle East, Asia and Africa!
Neapolitan style pizza, homemade pasta made with what they describe as “5 key ingredients” – 00 Caputo Flour, Pasta di Gragnano, Mozzarella di Bufala, San Marzano tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil from Sorrento.
Locally sourced produce and meats. Pastas and pizza dough are made daily in house. The space is quite big and airy. Friendly…
