One of the things you’ll rarely find in Cortona’s eateries is absentee ownership. Each proprietor is the essence of entrepreneurship…the first to arrive, the last to leave, sometimes the chef, visible to all, always on the go, and very devoted to pleasing patrons. Meet owner Luca Cuculi at Antica Trattoria, one such proprietor.
For all who were with us last summer, you’ll no doubt remember the wonderful dinners we enjoyed at this restaurant, whether dining inside or al fresco. And last night was no different.
For primo, we shared an order of panzerotti, a hand-made, half-moon shaped stuffed pasta…Incredible!
For secondo, we usually share an entrée, but since Len loves lamb chops and I don’t eat them, we ordered two entrées:
the grilled hen and roasted potatoes for me:
and the grilled lamb ribs with sautéed spinach for Len, which he proclaimed to be the best he has ever had!
To complement our dinner, we ordered Sangiovese. Fresh, simple, delicious! Grazie, Luca!
We’ll be back for sure!
Ciao,
Judy
