Buca Di Bacco’s Veal Saltimbocca

Downtown Oakville is well-known for its charming shops and fine dining restaurants, including ristorante italiano Buca Di Bacco.

Opened 10 years ago by Anthony Cappuccitti, Buca Di Bacco provide guests with an authentically Italian dining experience, reflective of Cappuccitti's own family dinners -- where everyone would connect over food, wine, and 'la dolce vita'.

"Our menu is composed of simple, earthy ingredients that represents the foundation of Italian cooking, “soul cooking”," says Cappuccitti. "We try to bring you the aroma’s, tastes and spirit of Italy."

Along with traditional Italian antipastos, pastas, (and yes, pizza), Buca Di Bacco's menu features savoury meat dishes such as the Veal Saltimbocca.

You can try it at home with the following recipe provided by Cappuccitti, or you can enjoy it at Buca Di Bacco the next time you visit Downtown Oakville!
