WHAT DO WE DO?
We want to bring to you an essential part of the Italian meal called “scarpetta.”
This word is close to the heart of every Italian who has enjoyed a delicious plate of pasta and wants to relish that last little bit of sauce still left on the plate. Meaning “the little shoe,” scarpetta refers to the small piece of bread used to mop up what is the left of the sauce on the plate that a fork cannot pick up. It is a ritual popular around Italy and it is evidence of having enjoyed the food.
Mop it Up! wants to celebrate just the last, indulgent part of the experience of enjoying a dish of pasta the Italian way, serving the sauce and bread without the pasta itself.
Come on and try our delicious homemade sauces!
