Antipasti Includes Soups!

The word “antipasto” is quite specific. It means to whet one’s appetite, to give our immediate hunger pangs and cravings a base so that the rest of the meal will proceed in a smooth fashion. The traditional starter foods, like salumi (Italian cold cuts, usually made from pork), cheese, roasted peppers, and so on, are all wonderful, but at Barbuto we also include a whole array of bruschette, crostini, and cured vegetables. These will range from the simple to the complex; vegan to meat central.
