I have recently just returned from spending two weeks in Italy. I completely indulged in the glorious food and wine the country had to offer, and so you can imagine my disappointment when I returned to JFK and saw the abundance of McDonalds and Subways lining my way to arrivals. However, as sad as I am not to be walking through the villages of Tuscany and enjoying a glass of wine and antipasti with a view of the Mediterranean- all is not lost thanks to the Salumeria Rosi Parmacotta. Italian restaurants are not scarce in New York City, perhaps they are even as common as a Starbucks, however the authenticity of Italian food is harder to find. With the restaurant having a location in Parma, Italy which is famous for Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano, you can be assured you will be truly having a taste of Italy in their wines, meats and cheeses.
It is not just the food that makes this restaurant authentic – it is the atmosphere, decor and dining experience.
Salumeria Rosi has really captured the essence and style of a cute, rustic, deli and wine bar. It is small, warm and inviting, with a strong, enticing smell wafting from the kitchen. The deep reds and colorful displays of all the meat and produce will take you out of New York, and transports you to Under The Tuscan Sun.
This restaurant does not do over-indulgent ‘Super Size’ plates. In fact, it is much more the place to go to taste and try new flavors, new foods and have several small plates. The restaurant really urges you to explore their entire menu and make selections from meat, cheese, pastas, and other delights. My favorite touch on the menu is how they phonetically spell out the Italian names of the meats, dishes, etc so you can order with a perfect Italian pronunciation!
The Chef, Cesare Casella, is not only a wonder in the kitchen, a true-blooded Italian and the dean of the Italian Culinary Academy at the International Culinary Center, he also is involved in many charities. I urge you all to go to this little slice of Tuscan Heaven and if you love it there as much as I do, you will be happy to know that you can get your daily meats from there as well to take home and share! Buon Appetito!
