FOOD ITEMS
Welcome to the Secret Menu for Vespa Healthy Italian Café. Without further ado, let’s unveil the secret menu items!
PINSA ROMANA | ROMAN STYLE PIZZA
’NCALABRUJA: Spicy ’nduja salame gently melts over our signature Pinsa Romana crust layered with shredded whole-milk mozzarella. Finished with two cracked eggs baked to silky perfection and a final dusting of grated Pecorino Romano, delivering a bold, soulful bite inspired by Southern Italy. $22
SORRISI | SANDWICHES
🥩 SORRISO IMPERIALE: Thinly shaved, rosemary and garlic-crusted prime rib layered onto our toasted Sorriso, the rustic Roman pinsa sandwich bread. Finished with sweet caramelized onions, fresh baby arugula, and a whisper of Pecorino Romano–horseradish crema, served with a rich vino rosso jus for dipping. Bold, savory, and built for the dip—comfort food done the Roman way. $ MP
PASTA AL FORNO (BAKED)
🧀🍐 MANICOTTI PERA FORMAGGI: Two delicate cheese-filled manicotti baked in a velvety four-cheese cream, enriched with Pecorino Romano, Gorgonzola, and freshly shaved Parmigiano. Crowned with a slow butter-roasted pear, gently caramelized until meltingly tender, then finished with, chopped candied walnuts, cracked black pepper and fragrant rosemary. Rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced—where creamy Italian cheeses meet the quiet sweetness of roasted fruit. $22 ✨🇮🇹
DOLCI | DESSERTS
🍰 TORTA BASCA: Our take on the rustic Basque-style cheesecake, baked crustless in parchment until its deeply caramelized crown gives way to an irresistibly soft, creamy center. We begin with brown butter and brown sugar, layering their warm, toasted notes with vanilla bean, rich cream cheese, heavy cream, and eggs. Baked directly in its parchment-lined form—with no traditional crust—the exterior develops its signature burnished finish while the heart remains luxuriously smooth and custard-like.Toasty. Buttery. Caramelized. Unapologetically creamy.Beautifully imperfect by design—a little fire on the outside, pure indulgence within. $12
🍋✨TARTUFO AL LIMONCELLO: Lemon semifreddo ice cream with a liquid limoncello core coated with crushed meringue. A bright taste of Italy’s sun-soaked coast. Bindi’s Tartufo al Limoncello brings together refreshing lemon gelato with a luscious limoncello center, creating a beautifully balanced contrast of creamy, citrusy, and delicately spirited flavors. Cool and velvety at first bite, then vibrant with the unmistakable fragrance of lemon, it captures everything we love about the Italian tradition of finishing a meal with something refreshing and just a little indulgent. Bright. Creamy. Citrusy. Unmistakably Italian. A little dolce, a little limoncello. A beautiful way to linger at the table. $12
☕🍨 AFFOGATO AL CAFFÈ: Sometimes the simplest Italian pleasures are the most unforgettable. Bindi Vanilla Bean Gelato, made with Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, affogato—“drowned” beneath a freshly pulled Miscela d’Oro Espresso Natura Bio. The hot espresso slowly melts into the cold gelato, transforming with every spoonful from bold and bittersweet to silky, creamy, and beautifully indulgent. Bindi North America. Hot meets cold. Bitter meets sweet. Gelato meets espresso. Two great Italian traditions, together in one little cup. $10
