Primi Piatti

Good Italian cooking requires discipline: knowing when to source imported products versus local alternatives, understanding how altitude and humidity affect dough hydration, respecting traditional methods while adapting to what's actually available. Primi Piatti's quality shows in details—pasta texture, sauce reduction, ingredient selection. What separates a careless kitchen from a competent one is often invisible to the casual diner but unmistakable when you eat there regularly. Does the restaurant treat its suppliers as partners or transaction points? Does it adjust recipes based on seasonal ingredient quality, or does it compromise to keep costs flat? At this level, hire someone who understands Italian food culture, not just someone who can follow a recipe.
