A cool summer evening in Vico Equense (Na). Michelin star restaurant
L'Accanto located in 5 star
Grand Hotel Angiolieri. My host?
Chef Vincenzo Guarino who
invited pizza maker
Gianfranco Iervolino to present several of his gourmet pizzas and serve them to an intimate crowd on the terrace and in the garden with a breathtaking view of the coast. Iervolino, recognized this year with
Gambero Rosso's prestigious
Tre Spicchi as well as one of his specialties voted
Pizza of the Year, shared three specialties for an intimate pizza loving crowd. His margherita, his pizza napoletano, and one that blew me away - his pizza with a velvety zucchini sauce, provola cheese from Agerola, shrimp, and Sfusato lemons from Amalfi.
I took my time with this slice, enjoying the blend of ingredients as well as the beer selected to go with it,
Syrentum, Birrificio Sorrento.
Iervolino left the pizza oven and got out his chittara. You see, Iervolino is also known for his love of Neapolitan music.
Our dessert was paired with a beautiful serenade of classics performed by Iervolino and his
amico da sempre, Paquale Panico.
