Fabrizia Lanza to Cook Sicilian Four Course Feast at Lupa

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Chef Fabrizia Lanza, daughter of the famed Sicilian Chef Anna Tasca Lanza, will cook a Sicilian feast at Lupa Osteria Romana. This lunch-time, four-course meal will feature an abundance of local and seasonal dishes, cooked in authentic style of Sicily and interpreted by the master of Sicilian philosophy herself.

Fabrizia’s menu:

Sardines Allinguate with Fried Ricotta

Ricotta Ravioli with Mint, Almonds and Sage Pistachio Pesto

Involtini and Wild Greens Sauté with Garlic

Lemon Curd with Biscotti Regina and Sesame Brittle

Lupa is honored to have Fabrizia visit its kitchen. Along with her delicious menu of seasonal foods, Fabrizia, whose Sicilian familial heritage can be traced for centuries, will bring her passion and expertise of Sicilian food, tradition and culture.

Since she was a child, Fabrizia has been involved in food and wine. Her late mother, Anna Tasca Lanza founded the Anna Tasca Lanza Sicilian cooking school at Case Vecchie in 1989 and today, Fabrizia runs the school, creating food and culture courses devoted to the traditional and disappearing food techniques of Sicily. Fabrizia also teaches cooking courses at Regaleali-Tasca d'Almerita Wine Estate where her family produces internationally well-known wines.

Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase copies of Ms. Lanza’s new cookbook, Olive – A Global History (Rektian Books) To learn more about Fabrizia Lanza, visit www.annatascalanza.com

Friday, October 28th, 12:00pm to 1:30pm.

Lupa to Host Ronchi di Cialla of Friuli

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 05:00:00 GMT

We invite you to this spectacular food and wine event with Ivan Rapuzzi as he showcases his family estate wines.

The Ronchi di Cialla estate in Friuli is strictly a family business. While Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi, who founded it in 1970, were attracted by wine growing as a way of living, their children Pierpaolo and Ivan belong to a generation that "grew up with vines". Both of them firmly support the Ronchi di Cialla philosophy and immemorial wine making tradition of Friuli. This family has thus become an uncommon heir of ancient traditions on one hand and modern scientific knowledge on the other making this small family business out of the ordinary.

Earth Day

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 05:00:00 GMT
Green is always in style at Mario Batali, Lidia and Joe Bastianich’s B&B Hospitality Group, as well as at Eataly, but in honor of this year’s Earth Day (Friday, April 22nd), sustainability will be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Each restaurant under the umbrella of B&B Hospitality Group (in New York, LA and Las Vegas) has created a special Earth Day menu or dish, highlighting what aspects of sustainability are most important to them.
Obviously, Earth Day is only one day of the year (though in our group we like to think we honor it everyday), but it is a day we can utilize to highlight our commitment to the earth. To pass our commitment on to our guests, we have gone one step further: we are sending every customer home with a little piece of our sustainable spirit. Every customer who dines with a B&B restaurant on Earth Day will take home a custom BBHG seed packet of the versatile Italian staple, arugula, to grow in his or her home or garden. “Will this cure Earth’s problem? Of course not,” says Mario Batali. “But is it an easy introduction to do-it-yourself Save-the-Earth 101? Most definitely! And don’t forget, arugula is delicious.”

At Lupa we're featuring a special Earth Day Menu. Chef Cruz Goler has created a menu which consists of locally sourced and sustainably produced products minimizing the impact on the environment. Enjoy this special prix fix menu for dinner on Friday, April 22, 2011
$55.00 per person
(EXCLUSIVE OF TAX AND GRATUITY)

Spring Colors at Lupa

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Our salad is composed of shaved raw vegetables including green & white asparagus, baby colored carrots, romanesco, watermelon radishes, radicchio and other chicories, blanched yellow wax beans and haricot vert.

Ingredients:
2 cups – Peeled & Blanched Asparagus
2 each – Soft boiled eggs, (simmered for 8 min)
1T – Red Wine Vinegar
.5 cup - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper – to taste

Method: Place all asparagus, egg & vinegar in a blender and puree, add salt & pepper, then slowly drizzle in olive oil while blender is running to emulsify .

Amaro, Lupa Style

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 05:00:00 GMT
Primum vivere, deinde philosophari
“First live, then talk about philosophy”
This Latin phrase tells us how important the harmony of the body is for Italian culture. After the pleasure of food it is important to treat digestion with the same high regard. Therefore we can understand why Italians have invented more than 350 different types of after-dinner drinks (digestives.) and at Lupa we boast one of the largest Amaro selections in all of New York City.

Amaro (meaning "bitter") is a category of Italian herbal liqueurs commonly drank as an after-dinner digestive. They are usually bitter and sweet, sometimes syrupy, usually with alcohol contents between 16% and 35%.

Amari are typically produced by macerating herbs, roots, flowers, barks, and/or citrus peels in alcohol. Sometimes they can also be macerated in neutral spirits or wine. The producers mix the filtrate with sugar syrup, and then allow the mixture to age in casks or in the bottle.

Join us every Sunday through Thursday to taste our favorite ‘Flights’ of Amari after 10:00pm. Enjoy a taste of three Amari for $12.00.
Primum vivere, deinde philosophari!

THIS WEEK WE WILL FEATURE THE FOLLOWING AMARI

Amaro Ramazzotti from the region of Lombardia

Amaro Nonino Quintessentia from Friuli Venezia Giulia

Amaro Averna from Sicilia

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:00:00 GMT
Rosato Flight Tasting - three of our favorite Rosatos for $12.00
Come and experience why Rosato is the summer wine of choice in Italy. The freshness, brightness, crispness and cool fruit flavors are the call of the day on a hot summer day. Lupa is offering a flight of three different Rosatos from different regions in Italy-each showing their distinct varietal character and uniqueness. Available throughout August.

REFOSCO BASTIANICH 2008 ~ FRIULI- VENEZIA GUILIA

Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso ("red-stemmed Refosco") is a native grape variety from Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Its natural high acidity keeps the rosato fresh with zingy wild berries.

CERASUOLO MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO NICODEMI 2009 ~ ABRUZZO

100% Montepulciano D'Abruzzo. Cerasuolo is not to be confused with the Sicilian red. "Cirasce" in the Abruzzo dialect translates to cherry-colored. Its deep blush combined with ripe, juicy cherries and strawberries makes this a great summer afternoon rosato.

L'O ROSATO ARGIANO 2008 ~ TOSCANA

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Known for its Brunello di Montalcino and Solengo (Super-Tuscan), Argiano produces a lush and round ruby pink rosato with ripe summer fruit.
