The fact is that up to there are many Italians and tourists that, in the moment they have to choose an easy and tasty second dish, they go for the cutlet.

The Italian name “Cotoletta” comes from French “Cotôlette” and it indicates one of the first six ribs of the veal tenderloin; in the Milanese dialect, it is simply “cutelèta”. In the Milanese dish the meat is first breaded in egg and breadcrumbs and then fried in butter, trying to make the breading as gold as possible. Tradition wants it to be served with the bone that in restaurant slang is called “the handle”.

Una vita ad immaginare e costruire un futuro che non è mai stato così chiaro e limpido. Fatto di emozioni inesauribili alla vista dei colori che questo mio Paese sa ogni giorno regalarmi. Ho viaggiato, senza mai stancarmi, per poi fermarmi dinanzi al blu del mio Mediterraneo. Lì capire che qualcosa di grande e profondo, intenso e meraviglioso, stava accadendomi; e che non mi sarei mai più fermato. Tuffandomi in quel mare sapevo che non avrei più potuto tornare indietro. Al contempo sapevo che i brividi che mi percorrevano sarebbero stati i vostri. E che insieme avremmo corso sempre più veloce verso qualcosa di puro, autentico, genuino, felice. Qualcosa che con orgoglio chiamo Idressitalian.
