BRIAN'S 100 Best '17

100 BEST ’17: POLLO ALLA CACCIATORA TRAPIZZINI at TRAPIZZINO

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017…

Not sure why nobody thought of this earlier, but Trapizzino is a company from Rome that invented this sandwich-pizza hybrid. Using leavened pizza dough to create pockets, Chef Stefano Callegari can fill it with whatever he sees fit. I truly loved the classic chicken cacciatora cooked down with white wine, garlic, and aromatic rosemary. Price: $6.50
