Excellent post! Your coverage of charcuterie is top notch and I'm well homesick for Roma and Italia just looking at your blog.
I truly appreciate the link to my site - just saw that. Thanks! We should meet up for a meal or drink next time I'm in LA (or you're in SF)!

Virginia...grazie 1000 for the kind words and it would be cool to meet one day, over a meal. I'm now the sommelier at Pizzeria Mozza in L.A., and I am surrounded by all sorts of temptations!
Wonderful! I LOVE Pizzeria Mozza... congrats on the position. Will be in touch next time I'm in LA.
Cheers, Adrian,

Now I'm very, very HUNGRY.
I like the name of the charcuterie (pizzicagnolo o pizzicheria in Italian), "cul de sac", which of course is meaningful in the salumi world.
Grazie mille a Lei per le fotos! Nothing improves my day like a little salumi eye candy.
Vi è, ovviamente, molto da sapere su questo. Penso che hai fatto alcuni buoni punti in dispone anche di. Continuare a lavorare, ottimo lavoro!
