Antipasti

Antipasti are usually served as cold dishes before the main meal, and more often than not it will be a simple meat platter, perhaps with Italys delicious Prosciutto ham served with some olives and fruit such as melon or figs.

On the other hand as Italy is extremely regional with its dishes you may find you are served a wonderful home made Minestrone soup, or an amazing array of marinated vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes alongside squid, prawns and all manor of shellfish.
