Join Katie Parla and Tom Parlo for a Tasting Rome book dinner at the Visconti Restaurant & Bar at the Hotel Gran Duca in Austin, Texas. The feast will commence with a reception featuring supplì cacio e pepe (rice croquettes with Pecorino Romano and black pepper), crostino con burro e alici (butter and anchovies on toast), frittata con cavolo nero (kale frittata), “‘nduja in carroza” (fried mozzarella with spicy Calabrian sausage), and trippa alla Romana (tripe with tomato sauce, mint and Pecorino Romano). These snacks will be served with wine or an aperitif cocktail. The dinner will include vignarola (artichokes, peas, fava, and lettuce stew) on toast, pasta alla gricia con asparagi (pasta with guanciale, Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and asparagus), abbachio alla romana con le patate (suckling lamb with roasted potatoes), crostata di prugne di Sara Levi (Sara Levi’s plum crostata with almond crust).
