Know Your Experience

A typical Italian menu is divided into 5 parts. These are:

• Antipasto (Appetizer)

• Primo (First Course)

• Secondo (Main Course)

• Contorno (Side Dish)

• Dolce (Dessert)

Not every meal in the day requires the presence of all courses. However, to eat the Italian way means to follow the progression of courses.

This structure of a proper Italian meal has been crafted to create a subtle and perfect mixture of tastes and texture. This method also introduces pauses into the meal, which means that diners have time to rest their palates and socialize.

This particular class will focus on il secondo piatto, the second course, which typically consists of a protein.

Menu
