Saturday in Pizzeria - Lady Pizza Marano (Na)

-

It's not as fancy as some of the places you usually go to, Gianni said casually.  Gianni - first name basis here - pizza maker and owner of Lady Pizza in Marano.   But who wanted fancy?  It was Saturday night, and after an evening in a nearby shopping mall and and that famous traffic in the suburbs, I wanted to relax. .  I wanted to feel comfortable.  And I wanted a pizza.  A lady pizza.

But which one?  Around 50 or so to choose from...as well as sandwiches...and crostini......and kebabs.  I needed a little help...help was on its way.

 A plate of spicy meatballs would help me make my decision...


....along with a plate of
crocche di patate, mozzarellina in carrozza, arancino di riso, and bigne di pasta cresciuta


But I came for pizza. So let's try...

 a pizza margherita...or...
 a fried stuffed pizza  stuffed with ricotta dei monti, cicioli, provola, tomatoes, and pepper...


 Or the parmiggiana with eggplant, tomato sauce, parmiggiano and provola ...

 or a 4 formaggio special with 4 different cheeses as well as prosciutto crudo, rucola and shavings of parmiggiano cheese...

Still space?  I didn't think so until a plate of stracceti with nutella arrived......

Warm, soft and sweet. A sweet, soft warm ending to a relaxing staurday in pizzeria

Stuffed and more than satisfied, I drove away thinking of Gianni's words It's not as fancy as some of the places you usually go to...and let's hope it stays that way...

Welcome to My Home - Lunch at Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa with Chef Peppe Guida

-

I've lost count as to how many times I have seen Chef Peppe Guida since we met for the first time last April .  On every occasion, from dinners at Pastifcio dei Campi to visits to Marina Yacht Club , we always ended our conversations agreeing that I needed to visit him a casa sua ...his home, his restaurant, Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa in Vico Equense (Na). I chose a Saturday afternoon to visit the chef's home, which really was just that...a home.  A renovated house dating back to the 17th century.  Chef Guida took me on a little tour pointing out where the pizza oven used to be, for example, which now is a small corner intimate dining room/wine cellar.  My eyes, however, were drawn to the family room where among antique furniture and plants hanging from the ceiling was a comfortable couch. I sat down for a while to relax,  discuss the latest news from Napoli, and talk about Guida's menu over a glass of spumante and a soft warm slice of casatiello with walnuts.  M

Scarpetta. ..the word alone makes one's taste buds jump for joy.  Scarpetta, little shoe, is an act of love at the end of a meal. A show of respect and admiration performedw ith a piece of great bread and the remnants of a fantastic sauce left on the plate at the end a a course. That is the spirit behind Franco Pepe' s latest pizza - La Scarpetta.   Pepe's soft pizza dough paired with an amazing ragu tomato sauce.  For the sauce, Pepe chose three tomato varieties and slow cooked them so that they fused together to make an incredible tomato sauce. This sauce is not cooked in the oven with the pizza dough, but added on top afterwards.  Then a couple of shavings of Grana Padano cheese (aged 12 and 24 months) Just one more taste of happiness courtesy of Pepe in Grani.. .
