Vitello Tonnato is a refined antipasto of tender, thinly sliced veal coated in a silky tuna-caper sauce. The result is cool, savory, bright with lemon, and deeply balanced by anchovy and capers, making it both elegant and surprisingly light for such a luxurious dish.

Caponata is a rich, glossy Sicilian eggplant relish with a vivid sweet-and-sour character. Tender browned eggplant, tomatoes, celery, olives, and capers come together in a savory agrodolce sauce, finished with pine nuts and basil for freshness and texture.
