What a treat to be invited to a special media dinner by Chef Michele Galifi at @bianca_siciliantrattoria — a beautiful spot in the Arts District serving traditional Sicilian dishes with a contemporary touch (and a gorgeous covered patio that’s perfect for date night).
Here’s a little of the deliciousness we experienced:
Started with a light 🦐 Cocktail di Gamberi — pan-seared shrimp, radicchio, butter lettuce & grissini.
🍚Then the Arancine — fried rice balls filled with ham, mozzarella & béchamel… my absolute favorite of the night.
🍕 Pizza time:
Diavola — smoked scamorza, hot soppressata, garlic, Sicilian chili & oregano.
Asparagus Pizza — smoked scamorza, crispy prosciutto & lemon ricotta. An absolute must for pizza and asparagus lovers — perfect for sharing… or not 😉
Of course we had to try the classic 🍝 Bolognese — rigatoni with a rich pork & beef ragù, paired with a beautiful Gurrieri Frappato (100% Frappato) — A+.
And instead of ending the night with dessert, we finished with 🐠 Baramundi al Salmoriglio — crispy-skin white fish topped with bright salsa verde.
Everything was incredible, but honestly what made the night so special was watching Chef Michele prepare the dishes and bring his Sicilian flavors to life right in front of us. The pizza is perfection and the whole experience felt warm, authentic, and so welcoming.
If you’re in the Arts District and looking for a romantic date night or a cozy dinner with amazing food, this spot absolutely deserves a reservation. 🍷🍕
