Fosco's Fine Italian Market
If you happen to find yourself in Roseville, then you absolutely must stop at Fosco's Fine Italian Market. It has been a haunt of my husbands and mine for at least a year. Most visits are answering our cravings for true “Italian Style” pizza where we order up a Speck and a Sausage, but you can’t go wrong with a margherita which sends me straight back to Italy (as a tourist of course). After we are finished in the café, we head over to have a complimentary espresso and start planning out dinner. All of Fosco's products are made and imported from Italy. Yesterday, my husband and I could not decide what we wanted to make for dinner with some friends that were in town. We had just returned from a evening in Napa where we had enjoyed a nine course dinner at Redd (located in Yountville) and we were all still feeling the guilt of pure consumption, and worth every last bite...but god was it a lot of food. So we settled on homemade grilled flatbreads
My husband has flatbreads down to a science and if you have not had a grilled flatbread you absolutely must. FYI Williams Sonoma has a great basic recipe. So of course when your doing a flatbread it is imperative (in my mind) to have fantastic toppings. So we chose some great pepperoni, calabrese, Mandara buffalo mozzarella which to me almost eats like a burrata, sweet peppers, saracena olives (pitted), fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, and a wedge of gorgonzola that was so creamy I could have ate it alone. We also picked up a bottle of Arnoldo Caprai from Umbria (Sangiovese) and a Adami prosecco to sip on while we prepared the dough and toppings, or rather, looked on while my husband did. Dinner turned out great, and I couldn’t help but be thankful that we had this great Italian deli available to us, now if I could just get him to open up down town.
