Classes
ATLANTA (April 18, 2016) – Tal Baum, owner of Bellina Alimentari, is excited to see the patio come to life with
relaxed diners enjoying new seasonal menu items. The Ponce City Market Italian
eatery recently launched a menu of spring cocktails and dishes, as well as new
Market products and Culinary Club classes.
“I love everything about spring, especially the new fruits and
vegetables it brings to our kitchen,” says Baum. “We’ve been working with our
farm partners - Anson Mills, Brasstown Beef, Decimal Place,
Many Fold Farm, Nature’s Harmony, Riverview Farms, Southern Swiss Dairy, Sweet
Grass Dairy, The Spotted Trotter, The Turnip Truck and White Oak Pastures - to
source the best local meat and produce from which to create simple, sumptuous
meals that delight the senses this season.”
New spring menu favorites include the following:
- Piselli e prosciutto - fresh tagliolini pasta with Spotted Trotter ham, fresh peas and cream sauce
- Minestrone - traditional Italian vegetable soup, garlic croutons, Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Crudo salad - local greens, shaved fennel, croutons, Decimal Place feta, orange vinaigrette
- Lasagne - fresh pasta, sautéed spinach and mushrooms , ricotta, béchamel, Parmigiano- Reggiano
- Farro Salad - Anson Mills farro piccolo, local greens, spring vegetables such as asparagus and peas with lemon vinaigrette
Top new picks on the drink menu include the bocciolo (blossom) cocktail
with Lazzaroni, Aperol, Byrrh, lemon
and orange flower water finish, and a 2014 Rosa del Golfo Negroamaro rosé.
Creative director Alice Fabi recommends a visit to Bellina's Market
to purchase the Beltline Picnic Basket ($25), which includes Rami handmade
breadsticks, olives, artichoke spread and red pesto.
“When I lived in Italy, there was nothing I loved better on a spring
day than to pack a picnic basket. It’s such a lovely way to spend time with
friends and loved ones. We’re also offering 10% off cheeses and cured meats
available in our salumeria for those who purchase the picnic baskets,” Fabi
notes.
The cook-it-yourself crowd will appreciate Bellina's newest Culinary
Club offerings. Diners who have always wanted to learn how to make the perfect
risotto will enjoy the Saffron Risotto Making Class ($45) on Tuesday, April 19
from 6 – 7:30 p.m. Then on Wednesday,
April 20 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m., award-winning cheese maker Rebecca Williams
will be on hand from Many Fold Farm to guide participants through a luscious
evening of artisanal cheese and orange wine ($28). Participants can learn about
other upcoming classes and register online.
