Last week our residents, friends and family got to experience the warmth of our community while enjoying a delicious Italian-inspired menu
Antipasti (starter)
Bruschetta di Pomodoro
Bruschetta (pronounced broo-sket-ta) - a slice of bread rubbed with garlic and olive oil and toasted on the grill. It is then topped with extra-virgin olive oil, tomatoes, salt and fresh basil.
Insalata (salad course)
Insalata di Caesar
A baby leaf of Romaine Lettuce drizzled with Caesar dressing and topped with bacon bits and shredded Parmesan cheese.
Primi (first course)
Tortellini alla Panna
A comforting and rich Italian dish made with Tortellini pasta (a cheese-stuffed pasta) in a delicious creamy parmesan sauce.
Secondi con Contorni (main course with side dish)
Stracotto
A traditional Italian pot roast, literally meaning "overcooked," where the beef is braised slowly in red wine, tomato paste, and vegetables (soffritto) until it is extremely tender. The stracotto will be served over creamy polenta.
Dolce (dessert)
Torta di Formaggio con Limone
This Italian-inspired dessert is made with mascarpone cheese, lemon, and a delicious graham cracker crust.
