Capturing the heart of italian dining
The Pinsa
Breaking the mould from his usual Neapolitan-style pizza, Johnny is firing up the pizza oven at Di Francesco Cucina and producing “The Pinsa”, Roman-style pizzas. Described as a cloud-like pizza, the pinsa is an ancient recipe with a unique oval shape and loaded with delicious toppings. Roman, rustic, and ridiculously tasty.
The Menu
Pasquale Di Francesco's core values can be seen throughout Di Francesco Cucina, with traditional Italian fare in a relaxed environment, and a menu abundant with Pinsa’s and pastas, as well as hearty mains, desserts and cocktails.
