Pronto
Italians say "pronto" when they answer the phone. It means they are ready to take your call. Cositutti has been spending the better part of the summer getting ready to launch a new look, a new book and a new blog that allows you to discover Italy in a unique and personal way. We're also working with our Italian producers in Northern Italy,Tuscany and Umbria to bring Italy to your table with a new sauce and handcrafted gifts for the holidays.
And in a few weeks we'll be announcing the date and time of our annual Wood Fired Pizza Event*. Held outdoors "il fuoco vivo" celebrates the life of the fire Italian style with artisan handmade wood fired pizza from Forno de Pizza. Everyone had a great time last year and we're looking forward to even more traditional and imaginative creations from pizziolo Hugo Laranja whose passion for pizza knows no bounds. |
