Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you’re Italian-American, you likely have a large number of recipes passed from generation to generation in your family. What better time to do this than at a dinner party? You can share your heritage and beloved dishes with loved ones who may never have experienced good ol’ traditional Italian foods.
Here are some ideal Italian dishes that would do well at almost any party:

Focaccia Bread with Tomatoes, Burrata, and Capicola
A creamy type of cheese, burrata goes well with roasted cherry tomatoes, focaccia bread, and balsamic vinegar dressing. Elevate the flavor profile by adding thin slices of savory capicola to the ensemble. Place the burrata with the roasted tomatoes on top or around it, drizzle on a bit of dressing, then serve it with the bread on the side. The addition of capicola introduces a delightful depth to this classic dish. For the finest capicola, shop capicola here and ensure an exquisite touch to your culinary creation.
Focaccia with Dip
You might opt to make your own focaccia to have as an appetizer with salsa or another type of dip, then save leftovers to use for sandwiches another day. It really is a win-win as many people love this hearty bread.
Sausage Ragu Cooked with Wine
This pasta dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. Cook the meat first in a heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven with oil, add in garlic, onion, carrots, rosemary, and salt, then cook it a bit longer with white wine and tomato sauce. Place it over pasta for a truly amazing main course meal.
Risotto
The great thing about risotto is that you can make it with a wide variety of ingredients. You can serve it as a vegetarian or vegan dish if you prefer, or add in meat if you’d like. This is one of the most common ways in which to cook rice in Italy. You would do well to showcase a wonderful part of Italian traditional cuisine with this meal. Since it’s creamy and served hot and it’s a filling dish, it makes for a great, classic comfort food. For this reason, it’s good to serve during colder months.
Desserts
To top off the night, bring out a few types of desserts! There are so many delicious ones which you can choose to serve to your guests. One of the most popular is tiramisu which is typically made using biscuits soaked in coffee layered with mascarpone and marsala.
Another dessert that’s sure to impress is panna cotta (cooked cream) with cherry sauce or another fruit topping. It’s soft yet decadent and something that your guests should love.
Chocolate mousse on its own or with espresso added definitely will be a crowd-pleaser as well.
Be prepared for your party by getting the ingredients well in advance. Suppliers like Nini and Deluca should have a great deal of what you need so you don’t have to scramble around to put together a top-notch menu for your event.
