Vero Cucina: Serving Authentic Napolitana Pizza in Middletown, CT
Vero Cucina is a pizzeria that opened its doors with the goal of bringing authentic Napolitana pizza to Middletown, CT. The restaurant prides itself on using only the freshest ingredients and traditional pizza-making techniques to create delicious and authentic pizzas.
The restaurant's name, Vero Cucina, translates to "true kitchen" in Italian. This name reflects the restaurant's commitment to using only the best ingredients and traditional cooking methods to create their pizzas.
One of the things that sets Vero Cucina apart from other pizzerias is their use of a wood-fired oven. This type of oven is essential for creating authentic Napolitana pizza because it cooks at a high temperature (around 900 degrees Fahrenheit) and creates a crispy crust while keeping the toppings moist.
In addition to their wood-fired oven, Vero Cucina also uses San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy for their sauce. These tomatoes are known for their sweet flavor and low acidity, making them perfect for pizza sauce.
The restaurant offers a variety of pizzas on its menu, including classic Margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, basil), Diavola (tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, spicy salami), and Quattro Formaggi (four cheeses). They also offer specialty pizzas like Prosciutto e Funghi (prosciutto di Parma ham with mushrooms) and Capricciosa (artichokes hearts with black olives).
Aside from pizzas they also serve salads such as Caesar salad or Insalata di Rucola which has arugula leaves topped with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese dressed in lemon vinaigrette dressing.
For those who prefer something other than pizza or salad there are pasta dishes available such as Spaghetti alla Carbonara which has spaghetti pasta tossed in egg yolk-based cream sauce with pancetta bacon bits topped off with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
To complement your meal they have an extensive wine list featuring wines from Italy as well as local vineyards around Connecticut. They also have craft beers available on tap or by bottle/can selection if you prefer beer over wine.
Overall Vero Cucina offers an excellent dining experience that combines traditional Italian cuisine with modern flair. Whether you're looking for an authentic Napolitana pizza or something else entirely like pasta dishes or salads this place will not disappoint!
