Experience the Taste of Southern Italy at Bon Appetito Papa

Summer has officially arrived at Bon Appetito Papa, a beloved Italian restaurant chain celebrating its unique charm and delicious offerings. From June 1 to August 31, guests can indulge in a special summer menu that captures the essence of the sun-soaked Southern Italy, with each dish carefully crafted to appeal to all five senses.

Delight in the Summer-exclusive Dishes

Among the featured items is the Summer Spicy Zuppa priced at 700 yen. This summer-inspired dish blends the sweetness of early red onions and savory pork into a comforting soup. Enhanced with Calabrian chili, the soup provides a vibrant kick that complements the crispy fried eggplant and refreshing cucumber marinated in red wine vinegar. A true must-try, this zesty soup promises to be a perfect summer staple.

For those seeking a luxurious bite, the Creamy Burrata with Fruit Tomato Compote and Balsamic Sauce is a standout at 2,100 yen. When sliced, the rich burrata cheese oozes indulgence, harmonized perfectly with sweet fruit tomato compote and the tangy notes of mini tomatoes in balsamic sauce. Pair it with a chilled sparkling or white wine for a refreshing experience.

Pizza lovers will relish the Summer Pizza with Octopus and 'Nduja, priced at 2,280 yen. This dish features spicy ‘Nduja, a signature soft sausage from Calabria, paired with creamy ricotta, fresh octopus, and zucchini, all baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. The fresh lemon zest that finishes the pizza highlights the complex flavors, making it an ideal option to celebrate the summer.

A lighter choice is the Chilled Shirasu and Okra with Basil, coming in at 1,780 yen. This cold pasta dish makes use of the Japanese herb, shiso, providing a refreshing contrast to the typical basil sauce. It incorporates delightful crunchy okra and accented by myoga, a type of ginger, boosted further with Italian fish sauce, bringing forth the fresh seafood flavors beautifully.

Meat lovers can’t miss the Grilled Lamb Chops with Spicy Lemon Sauce, available for 3,300 yen. The expertly grilled lamb is juicy and flavorful, paired with a zesty lemon and green chili sauce that enhances the meat's natural richness. Enjoy it alongside grilled lettuce for added texture and taste.

Don't forget to save room for dessert! The Gelato di Melone (Watermelon Jelly) is a sweet treat for 600 yen, featuring a classic summer dessert from Sicily reimagined by Bon Appetito. This dish captures the essence of sweet watermelon, including its rind, in a refreshing jelly, making it an ideal ending to your meal.
