Filippo’s Signature Dishes

Tortellacci with Figs and Prosciutto Crudo
 

This dish carries Filippo’s signature. Inspired by his love for the classic butter and sage sauce, he created his own interpretation: homemade tortellacci filled with figs and delicate Parma ham, finished with paper-thin carpaccio, fresh arugula, and Parmesan. Sweet, savory, and full of Italian soul—like a special evening in Calabria.
 

Calabrian Fish Pan
 

A true Calabrian specialty, passed down from generation to generation—just as it was from grandmother to grandmother. With two carefully selected fish varieties, mussels, prawns, and fresh clams, refined with sun-ripened tomatoes, peppers, and Mediterranean herbs, Filippo brings a piece of his childhood and the soul of the Calabrian coast to your table. In Calabria, this traditional dish is lovingly called “A Ghiotta di Pesce”—a taste of the sea, family, and Italian tradition.
