Antipasto, meaning "before the meal" in Italian, has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome. It evolved from the custom of serving small bites of food to whet the appetite before the main course. This traditional Italian starter typically includes a variety of cured meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, olives, and sometimes seafood. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized antipasto in their restaurants, while regions like Tuscany and Sicily are known for their unique variations. The best antipasto showcases high-quality ingredients, such as prosciutto, mozzarella, and artichokes, and is often enjoyed with a glass of wine. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Italian trattorias and delicatessens.
