Easter: At the Table with My Family
An Easter Sharing Menu inspired by Chef Nico’s childhood between Napoli and the Gargano
Every second Easter, our family tradition took me between two places close to my heart — the vibrant chaos of Napoli and the peaceful coast of the Gargano in Puglia. One year with my mother’s parents, the next with my father’s. Two families, two kitchens, and one shared love for food, wine, and laughter.
This menu is a tribute to those memories — to the long tables where simplicity was celebrated, where roasted lamb and homemade pasta were enough to make the day feel special, and where every bite came with a story.
I invite you to close your eyes and imagine sitting at our family table — where food was humble but full of soul, where joy and flavour came together like Miseria e Nobiltà.
To complete the experience, I invite you to match each dish with wines specially chosen by my incredible wife, Alex. Her selections bring the soul of the food to life — with organic wines from the very regions that inspired this menu.
Eat, drink, and celebrate like famiglia!
Buona Pasqua,
Nicola, Alex, Tony and the Carne & Cucina team
