An Italian in my Kitchen

While being in the midst of a global pandemic and travel being close to impossible, Eurocasa Cape Town insists on bringing Italy to your home!

Where does one even begin with Italian culture? There is no doubt that the Italians are known to indulge in the finer things in life, with a range of luxury brands originating from this vibrant country.

 

Food

Food

Italians have championed the field-to-fork food culture, priding themselves on the freshest and brightest ingredients. Each region in Italy has a unique specialty in the form of pizza, pastas, gelato, risotto, cheeses and so the list goes on – making Italy a food paradise.

UNESCO has even recognised the Neapolitan art of pizza making as an ‘intangible cultural heritage’. This UNESCO ‘site’ acknowledges the genius of this country’s culinary skills in one of the foundations of Italian cuisine.

We encourage you to visit Giovanni’s Deli in Green Point. They are the perfect way to bring real Italian cuisine to your home. “Our shelves are crammed with the finest quality olive oils, balsamic vinegar, pickles, pasta, coffees, teas, chocolates, biscuits, jam and honey, dried fruit and nuts, imported and local wines, fresh bread and pastries.”

If you feel like dressing up and going out for the occasion, Eurocasa Cape Town suggests you go to Il Leone, also situated in Green Point. Their menu is full of only the most authentic (and most delicious) Italian dishes… prepared to perfection!

 

An Ozzio Italia Bar Stool

Ozzio Italia Bar Stool

Eurocasa Cape Town is partnered with world-class Italian brands to bring the country’s unquestioned style to your home. Ozzio Italia is an Italian leader in interior design and it isn’t surprising to see that it was born in Milan, the capital of design and fashion.

This soft bar stool comes in a variety of finishes to suit your home environment, while successfully complimenting your luxury Italian kitchen.

 

Wine

Wine

What to go better with Italian food than Italian wine? For centuries, generation after generation have perfected the art of wine making – much like Eurocasa Cape Town’s own craftsmanship in Italian kitchen design. Italian wines are known for their diversity of styles, protection of indigenous varieties and, of course, their food-friendliness.

 

Lighting

A luxury kitchen should be a place where meals are cooked for the family to enjoy, a place where friends congregate to enjoy late-night drinks, and a place where good lighting can make all the difference. Lighting sets the mood – a lightbulb has the ability to improve the task at hand, or enhance the ambiance.

This avant-garde lamp is suspended with metal, complimented by a brass finish. It has the power to be a statement piece in your home.

 

Coffee

Italian cafés here have been operational as early as the 17th century. They are the inventors of the espressos, macchiatos and cappuccinos!

Traditionally, you pay less for your quick fix of caffeine when ordering at the bar compared to sitting down in most Italian coffee spots. That is why there is always a buzz around the espresso machine where people drink their coffee quickly and move on with their day.

 

Barazza Appliances

Barazza offers sophisticated appliance systems for your luxury Italian kitchen. These include sinks, ovens and hobs which are designed and produced to boast a strong, clean visual. With over 50 years of experience, the combination of Barazza quality and the made-in-Italy style continues to spread values of excellence throughout the world.
