DINING AT
DA SESTO ITALIANO
By Margaret Word Burnside and Aaron R. Fodiman
The Tampa Bay Food and Wine Society recently enjoyed a festive meal at
the new Da Sesto Italiano Ristorante in Pinellas Park. We began with
an antipasto of a variety of bruschettas paired with a lean and bright
Vino Etna Bianco Malavoglia Uva Grecanico e Caterratto. Next was Sesto’s
famous Sicilian swordfish balls and eggplant over squid ink linguine that was
topped with a tomato calamari sauce, served with a Vinto Etna Bianco “Enrico
IV Santo Spirito” Uva Carricante. This was followed by Penne alla Siciliana with
eggplant chips, matched with a Vino Etna Rosso “Norma” Uva Nerello Mascalese,
Nerello Cappuccio. The main course was rolled beef stuffed with prosciutto,
provolone and egg that was served with a Vino Rosso Etna “Puritano” Uva Nerello
Mascalese. Sesto concluded this feast with crepes filled with ricotta and candied
fruit over chocolate that was a perfect accompaniment for the Vino Rosso Etna
“Puritano Uva Nerello Mascalese. The authentic flavors of Italy made this wellplanned
dinner a perfect evening of fine dining. 9
