Default Re: Italian Foods Forever

Thanks for the lead on the video. That was good.

Still -- I would only recommend Pane Toscana for bruschette. For dinner, it's a pretty tasteless loaf, and the lack of salt keeps the crumb from developing properly, to where it's dense, and almost dry and crumbly. If there are any Florentines (Fiorentini) out there, please forgive me.

The vowel at the end of an adjective typically corresponds with the noun (male or female), giving you Forno Bravo or Pizzeria Brava. I'll check a few bakeries and the supermarket, and look that one up. It's il Pane (irregular male). Pizzeria Biano is "Bianco" because of the family name, whereas a white pizza could be pizza bianca.
