Antipasti are traditional Italian appetisers served before the main course. The term literally means ‘before the meal’.
Antipasti stimulate the appetite and often include a colourful variety of small bites - typically a mix of cured meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, olives, seafood, and breads. They can be served plated individually or as a shared platter.
Typically, antipasti is served cold or at room temperature, but some are better served warm, like baked crostin with our Sun-Dried Tomatoes or mini pizzette topped with our Friarielli.
Antipasto is singular (one plate or serving), while antipasti are plural (multiple dishes or a shared platter).
It depends on the ingredients, but popular choices include:
White wines: Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc
Red wines: Chianti, Barbera, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Sparkling: Prosecco pairs beautifully with mixed antipasti
