✨The Tradition of Ravioli di Zucca: A Taste of Italian Heritage✨

Ravioli di Zucca (Pumpkin Ravioli) is a beloved dish that originates from the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions in northern Italy, particularly in the cities of Mantova and Ferrara. Traditionally, these ravioli are filled with a creamy mixture of pumpkin, sometimes mixed with amaretti biscuits, nutmeg, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, which adds both sweetness and depth of flavor. This combination reflects the northern Italian tradition of balancing sweet and savory in a single dish.

At Il Bacaro, we honor this tradition with our take on Ravioli di Zucca, combining the velvety texture of pumpkin with a rich mascarpone filling and topping it off with a vibrant rocket pesto for a modern twist. To ensure the freshest and most authentic experience, we home-make our ravioli fresh, daily in our kitchen, allowing you to savor the true flavors of Italy.

For a truly harmonious dining experience, we suggest pairing this delightful dish with a Pinot Grigio or Verdicchio, both of which enhance the subtle sweetness of the pumpkin and provide a refreshing contrast to the creaminess of the mascarpone.
