The price of the average pizza slice in New York continues to rise dramatically with the price of flour, taking mozzarella cheese and other assorted toppings with it. But not in Bensonhurst.
Join Chef Marc Taxiera as he prepares a six-course tasting menu highlighting the latest vintage of Beppe’s proprietary olive oil crafted by Matteo Baroni of Fattoria delle Fornacelle. This olive oil is hard core: it's made of Moraiolo (comprising most of the blend), Leccino, and Frantoio olives, hand-picked in late October. It has been granted the ‘Chianti Classico DOP’ designation (Denominazione di Origine Protetta – ‘Protected Appellation’), based on the DOC for the namesake wine. Strict regulations govern every step of the production process, from the picking, storing, cleaning, and pressing to the labeling and composition of the oil. $60, 45 East 22nd Street. For reservations please call 212.982.8422.
