Italian Christmas Feast 7 Fish Recipes Cookbook

 



Fried Baccala


When I was a little one, each year at Christmas, my grandmother would make these wonderful fried cod or cauliflower delicacies wrapped in seasoned dough! Bowls of baccala (cod fish) and cauliflower fritters would be set out on the Christmas Eve table and we would eat our fill! My little sister would eat them until she literally got sick much to the dismay of my father who would warn her of the imminent danger of her over indulgence!

What can I say; these Christmas Baccala and Cauliflower Fritters are absolutely delicious; and though I am not that big on fried foods in my normal diet, the Holidays just beg to differ! Enjoy my Christmas Baccala and Cauliflower Fritters this month at Christmas or whatever Holiday you observe; these fritters don’t discriminate, they just taste good!

Pizzeria Gorizia Pizza Naples

 

 



PIZZERIA GORIZIA

NAPOLI





Pizzeria Gorizia

Naples




THE GORIZIA PIZZERIA dal 1916


A welcoming atmosphere, a team of true Neapolitans and all the warmth that distinguishes our city: Pizzeria Gorizia 1916, a reference point in the Neapolitan gastronomic scene, has been making pizzas for over a century.

Today as a hundred years ago: both our pizzas and our dishes come from ancient traditional recipes, handed down from generation to generation, and prefer carefully selected local products of excellence.

Don't miss the 1916 pizza: ricotta, mozzarella, courgette flowers, artichokes, salami and provolone del monaco, a tribute to the iconic ingredients of our restaurant.

OUR HISTORY

It is May 10, 1916 when, in a Vomero which is still an expanse of land planted with broccoli, a very young Salvatore Grasso opens for the first time the doors of a business that, over the years, will become an institution in the pizza scene. Neapolitan.

As soon as he returned from the front, Salvatore, who before leaving was already an acclaimed pizza maker at the Mattozzi pizzeria, decided to set up his own business with his wife Anna in a neighborhood that would soon experience a huge expansion, the Vomero. He then took over an old restaurant, called it "Gorizia" in honor of his fellow soldiers who in those days entered the city of Gorizia, and for 9 years it remained the only restaurant business in the area. Salvatore's cuisine and his pizza delight from the humblest palates to the noblest: princes and dukes, in love with the climate and tranquility of the hill, begin to build their own residences in Vomero and become a permanent presence at Pizzeria Gorizia. Similarly, the workers who flock to the neighborhood and have a short lunch break,

The years pass and the gastronomic offer of Neapolitan delights that goes alongside pizza, thanks also to the intervention of the Duke Pironti, owner of the property who provides Salvatore with a series of tips and also an expert cook, becomes increasingly sought after.

Di Salvatore in Salvatore, the Gorizia pizzeria has reached its 105th birthday today, and has seen illustrious characters succeed each other at its tables, from Totò to De Filippo, up to Luciano De Crescenzo who, as a very young man, had obtained his own right here first job as a waiter.

Today the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 is proud to offer a pizza prepared according to the most ancient tradition and seasoned with products of unparalleled quality that Salvatore sr (current president of UPSN "Le Centenarie") and Salvatore jr enjoy discovering among the small artisan excellences that the Italian territory has to offer. A lot of passion, constant updating and a continuous search for the best ingredients, have also made the traditional gastronomic offer that goes alongside the ever richer and tastier pizza, to the point of giving the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 the honor of becoming Krug Ambassade.

A warm welcome, an excellent pizza and a nice glass of champagne: crossing the threshold of the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 means treating yourself to an unforgettable experience.
