The dishes of Franceschetta58, the younger sister of the Osteria Francescana, arrive at home in Modena. And with pop-up delivery also in Milan
That restaurants have given themselves to delivery and home delivery is no longer news. The boom of clubs, of every order and degree from the trattoria to the tristellato, from the tacos to the agnolotti they have worked to find new ways for their business. But the news is that deliveries no longer only take place locally, for ready meals, or nationally, for kits and products branded by the chefs … Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana team invented the pop-up restaurant at home, and after delivering to Modena for weeks, he landed in Milan. The dishes of the tristellato do not arrive, but those of the Franceschetta58: the first experiment carried out on May 1st sold out in a few hours. Then replicate.
Franceschetta58
To simplify it, it could be called Bottura's "bistro". But Franceschetta58 is not only the low cost version of the cuisine of the famous chef from Modena: it is rock'n’roll. Franceschetta58 is a project in itself, where you can breathe the influences of Italian culinary traditions and the numerous souvenirs collected around the world. "He has a rebellious soul, distant roots, being strong, sweet and romantic", as they explain in their Podcasts. The restaurant occupies the spaces of a former workshop, you sit at the counter where a selection of the best Italian artisan meats and cheeses dominate, compotes and jams made at home or by small producers, pickles and fresh bread, or at the tables in the room. The idea is to relive the joy of Sunday lunch every day, when it was truly a special moment. Open six days a week for both lunch and dinner, Franceschetta58 offers an à la carte menu, a seasonal and classic tasting menu, with wine pairings or not and a smart option for lunch.
The delivery

Order on the MyMenu website choosing from classic dishes, a selection of wines and beers, bread and focaccia included. And to have no doubts, there are podcasts: a new way to listen to the hall. From the Massimo Bottura bistrot in Modena an open microphone to give space to the voice of the room. To tell about dishes, wines and some funny episodes of life in a restaurant. The dishes do not arrive ready, but in a kit version to be reassembled at home with ingredients already weighed and portioned ready to be cooked, heated or assembled. The delivery takes place daily in the city of Modena, but there are special incursions also outside the region: in Milan the first date will be May 15th, to be marked on the agenda, but others will follow until September.
