Italian Baked Rice and Clams

In this traditional casserole from Puglia, layers of potatoes, clams, tomatoes, salty cheese, broth, and arborio rice are baked until the rice is tender and creamy. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes provides heat and spice without taking over. It all comes together to create comfort food perfection in a skillet.
Pasta e Ceci

Pasta e ceci (“pasta with chickpeas” in Italian) is a classic and comforting one-pot dish that makes the most out of simple ingredients — in just 30 minutes. The garlicky thyme- and rosemary-scented broth gets a subtle umami boost from tomato paste and bright acidity from white wine.
Pork Chop Milanese

Preparing something Milanese (or Milanesa) style means dredging thin slices of meat in flour, eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs and frying them. In this recipe, a rib-cut pork chop is the meat used, but it can be made with beef, veal, or even chicken.
Smoked Mozzarella Mezzelune

Mezzelune (which means "half-moons" in Italian) are a crescent-shaped stuffed pasta similar to ravioli. They‘re a relatively simple shape to try that requires little equipment to make at home. The accompanying thick, rich slow-cooked tomato-onion sauce is loosely inspired by a Bolognese classic called il friggione.

Yelp Review

"For true spice come here. You know you are eating authentic when the asian to white person ratio is 9 to 1 in midtown Sumter! I ordered spicey shredded potato and spicey fish fillet. The fish comes on top of a bed of cooked cabbage. All delicious. Wish i could have tried more dishes."

Kelvin

Yelp Review

"Good traditional style restaurant. Almost of their dishes are spicy, but delicious. If you are spicy foods lover, this will be your favorite place around port authority. The waiters are really friendly and they do offer hot water during the winter. Also, all the dishes’ price include tip. So no tips are required."
