Salta in bocca in Italian means “jump in the mouth, ” because that is exactly what you want these tasty veal slices to do. This is the classic Roman rendition. In Sorrento, they add a slice of mozzarella, which is also very good. Since you can’t turn these over while cooking, put a lid over the pan for about a minute to let the cheese melt.
