Tables are set with olio santo, “holy oil”, sometimes called Sicilian butter, for dipping our
hand-kneaded bread; fagiolini, our escarole and bean spread; and gorgonzolatta, a spread of
gorgonzola cheese. We also serve a cunzate’ of black and green olives with fresh pecorino
crotonese cheese from Calabria, and imported southern Italian aged provolone. And a gustoso of
ceci beans and celery completes the course. This bread service is included in the price of main
course luncheons.
