Discover Cavoletti: Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta at Antica Trattoria
Some of the most memorable flavors come from the simplest ingredients — and our Cavoletti is a perfect example of that philosophy. At Antica Trattoria, we transform humble Brussels sprouts into a crowd-pleasing appetizer packed with bold, savory flavor.
A Crispy, Flavor-Packed Start
Our Cavoletti begins with Brussels sprouts roasted to crispy perfection, bringing out their natural sweetness and nuttiness. They’re then tossed with crispy pancetta, which adds a rich, salty depth that balances beautifully with the tender greens.
Finished with Parmigiano and Balsamic Glaze
To finish, we shave generous ribbons of Parmigiano Reggiano over the top and drizzle everything with a sweet, tangy balsamic glaze. The result? A dish that’s crunchy, salty, sweet, and deeply satisfying — perfect as a starter or a small plate to share.
Italian Comfort with a Modern Twist
Whether you’re a Brussels sprouts lover or still skeptical, our Cavoletti will win you over with its flavor and texture. It’s a beloved staple among our guests and a testament to the kind of thoughtful, ingredient-driven food we’re proud to serve.
