Join me, Jeremy Challender of Prufrock, Fabio Ferreira of Notes Music Coffee and Flat Cap Coffee Co. and special guest Katie Parla as CoffeeSaturday celebrates the pleasures of Rome and the release of Katie’s Rome Dining App for iphone, ipad and android.
The day will be divided into two sessions: a cappuccino-and-cookie tasting running from 11:30am-5pm and a Roman pizza aperitivo party running from 5pm-9:30pm. You can book for either but we all hope you will take advantage of the discount and be with us for a good part of both.
For the cappuccino tasting Fabio Ferreira will wheel Flat Cap’s coffee cart from a church yard on Fleet Street into Prufrock for a one-day-only docking of two great London coffee shops. Baristas from each will prepare for you their versions of the traditional cappuccino (#TradCapp) as part of their respective efforts to restore interest in an Italian classic ignored of late by coffee geeks. You’ll enjoy your two cappuccinos with homemade Roman-style cookies made for the day’s bake-off.
With admission to the pizza aperitivo you will get three slices (and three varieties) of authentic pizza al taglio - the glorious “cut” pizza of Rome – baked by Herbie Leonelli, the pizzaiolo at London’s Datte Foco. To go with Herbie’s pizza we’ll serve Negronis, Italian wine and, for the caffeine deprived, more coffee.
