Antica Trattoria is a warm restaurant with an old-fashioned sense of hospitality that quickly became a gathering spot for diners in Lake Murray and sleep of hillcrest when it opened in 2001. For professional chef and owner Francesco Basile, good cuisine is approximately truthful tastes, fresh ingredients and simpleness. Thats the sort of food he was raised eating by the seaside in Sicily plus its what he learned in cooking school in Italy.My food is fresh and regular plus the prices are reasonable, Francesco claims. Thats why we've numerous diners whom come back repeatedly.

Diners savor Antica Trattorias richly flavored meals including Maile Piemontese, a juicy pepper-crusted pork loin with caramelized oranges in a burgandy or merlot wine decrease; tender penne pasta with roasted eggplant, fresh tomatoes and dried ricotta; or zabaglione painstakingly whipped manually. Francesco and his cook Eric Ruiz anticipate the changing seasons which allow them to showcase meals like lobster with roasted fennel in springtime, caponata bursting because of the taste of tomato in summer or pumpkin ravioli with chestnut cream sauce in autumn.

Sometimes you see food and and contains a lovely presentation  you taste it therefores negative, Francesco says. My philosophy when I do a plate is folks have to taste most of the components into the dish.
