AMELIA'S PICK
Bet you thought this is the Gerber baby...nope but I'm going to give her a run for the money. What do you think of this month's pick. Beachy, island flair -I'm all set for the new Tiki Bar trend in my raspberry sun hat.
I'm pretty in pink!Amelia |

Cari
Amici,
I
AM BACK IN THE KITCHEN! YES, SERIOUSLY I'M BACK.
Our
executive chef, Bill Crouse, left Sotto Sopra two weeks ago pursuing bigger
dreams and to expand his career. We had three excellent years together and I hope
his talent will lead him to great fortunes.
After the birth of my daughter, Amelia, I was itching to start
cooking again. I think the baby gave me a new inspiration to revisit my old
passions, cooking and enjoying life at the same time. I have been in the
kitchen now two weeks and I have changed the menu in its entirety. I love being
back. WOW it feels so GOOOD.
New
things include octopus, fried polenta, bruschettas, a large salumi selection,
and Italian cheeses (I mean huge). The burrata came in two days ago from Campania along with the buffalo mozzarella which both
will arrive weekly from Italy.
I have fennel with eggs, truffles, flatbreads with ricotta and anchovies, mint
fazzoletti with a succulent lamb ragu and whipped mascarpone cheese,etc.etc.
Click HERE to see full menu -it is a large file so it may take a bit to download.
This
menu is totally everything that I like to eat, many from my childhood
memories. The menu is simple Italian cuisine but I'm buying top ingredients to accentuate the
flavors. I hope you will come out to taste my food and share your thoughts
about my cooking abilities.
Have
a great summer and.... eat well...but mostly... EAT ITALIAN.
Ciao 
Riccardo, Monika, piccola Amelia & Sotto Sopra staff

 FRANK SINATRA BIOPIC BY SCORSESE
Frank Sinatra's life was
nothing if not epic, so it's perhaps fitting that Martin Scorsese's
attempt to bring the story of ol' blue eyes to the big screen is also
turning into something of a saga. Besides Al Pacino, George Clooney and Leonard DiCaprio are
also under consideration. Read the full story at The Annotico Report

 BIKING IN ROME - AN EXTREME SPORT
Given its smoggy air, aggressive motorists and pervasive lack of respect
for traffic laws, Rome isn't exactly the safest city to traverse on two
wheels. In March, however, the local government pledged to transform
the Italian capital into a cyclist's utopia by 2020.Read the full story at The New York Times |
