We’re pleased to announce the launch of our Early Summer Special Menu! The new menu showcases in-season, fresh and local ingredients such as Chioggia beets from Coke Farms and almonds from Alfieri Farms. We’re also featuring artisan meats from Bay Area favorites Mary’s Free Range Chicken and Fra’Mani. Our seasonal brushetta features Chiogga beets and blue cheese from Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company. We have two wonderful pasta entrees — a conchiglie (pasta shells) sautéed with Fra’Mani sausage and fresh rapini as well as a roasted artichoke risotto with Fra’Mani pancetta. Our “second course” entrees include a “Brasato di Pollo”, which features braised Mary’s Free Range Chicken thighs with Castlevrano olives, almonds and honey. This dish is not to be missed. We’re also offering the classic “Vitello Milanese”, a pan-fried parmesan crusted veal cutlet served with an organic baby arugula salad. And for the “sweet course”, enjoy our “Coppa Rabarbaro”, which is a scrumptious dessert of rhubarb compote served over artisan gelato from “La Copa Loca” of San Francisco!
For the next several weeks, you can find this menu along with a fixed course tasting menu throughout our restaurants in Northern and Southern California. If you’re feeling adventurous, our Pleasant Hill and San Jose (The Alameda) locations are offering a different seasonal special menu, with items that we are “testing” for future use. If you want to get in on the “testing” or try a different seasonal dish, please visit those locations to see what the Pasta Pomodoro Culinary Team is working on. We hope you enjoy the new dishes as much as we do and look forward to your feedback!
