"The really good food does not end here": so We groaned Announces with pride on its Facebook page the adhesion to International campaign Restaurants against hunger. It does not end here the food, it also arrives there, where usually there is not: for every solidarity dish tasted in the restaurant, 2 euros go to Action against hunger, non-profit association leader in the actions of help to children who suffer from hunger in the world.

The restaurant with a strong Neapolitan identity, new on the market, which announces to serve "the best Neapolitan pizza in Milan ", has a cuisine that serves Italian classics and specialties of the capital of Campania. A restaurant against hunger has dedicated three proposals, an appetizer, a first and a second.

As for the appetizer, the dish of the same name at the restaurant is one classic fry – drops of potatoes, rice supplì, zeppoline of Neapolitan-grown pasta with algae – and some peculiarities, like the crunchy polenta croquettes with a soft stuffing of cod.

The first course is lo Strascinato di Mare – a format of fresh pasta, the 'strascinati', typical of the South, a sort of bigger and more open orecchietta, which is now easily found in many parts of Italy, in supermarkets or in large food distribution.

A first course of easy realization and genuine goodness. The instructions are simple, here recipe: put oil, garlic and basil in a pan, then add the tomatoes and the squid cut and blend with wine. Meanwhile cook the fresh pasta, drain a minute before and add to the sauce for a minute on the stove. Season with a pinch of black pepper, serve and serve: enjoy your meal!

The second chosen by We guagliò for Restaurants against hunger is a mixed fried shrimp, calamari and cod. There are no campaign stamps on the standard menu: "We also work with a menu-board that changes every week. Inside we put the Restaurant brochure against hunger, an initiative that we like – says the owner, Domenico Todisco – When we are at the tables and choose one of those dishes, we say: 'Having chosen this dish, you have donated 2 euros for hunger in the world, and we make them notice the brochure. And then when they come to pay at the cash desk, we ask if they wish to donate … Maybe the bill is 13 euros: 'Let's make 15?' And we tell him why. And the coin ends up in the piggy bank style bottle re-issued from the brochure we put there next to us ".

The Restaurant campaign against hunger will continue until December 31st. I'm hundreds of restaurants who join you in our country: discover the one closest to your home!

"Our tables are made to share" is the motto of Miscusi, a chain with three locations in Milan specializing in pasta dishes. And in sharing, indeed. This is why Miscusi jumped at the opportunity to join the Restaurants against Fame campaign, the beautiful initiative by which going to eat at the restaurant can help a child who suffers from hunger.

"Sharing is at the base of our brand"- explain Filippo Mottolese and Alberto Cartasegna. In fact one of the strong points of the restaurant are the sharing table, inglesismo from insiders that does not mean anything but a table to share with other diners, hitherto unknown. The famous and too often forgotten Mediterranean conviviality.

"We have both sharing and normal tables: we like it a lot because what we like is telling … We started from the idea of a more sustainable, more genuine Mediterranean diet, which is based on 'eating makes you happy'. So we said to ourselves: 'Heck, we want ours guests are happy not only because they eat pasta, but because they can share'- continue – We wanted a pasta to share, as per the Mediterranean tradition: a single table, lots of laughter and good wine. The recipe for happiness is made of simple ingredients ". And then under the motto n.2: "The pasta unites and makes you happy" is added a "Welcome, make as if you were at home": the premises are furnished because theatmosphere know of Grandma's house, a family table, where pasta is eaten together.

The solidarity plate chosen by Miscusi – the one that you order donates two euros to the projects of Action Against Hunger – it's not a first one, though, but the burrata. Why this choice? "The burrata is a dish that always it was thought to be shared: unlike pasta dishes to be ordered as a single, burrata is a dish sharing to share with friends. We always suggest it. And Action against hunger speaks exactly about this: we thought about choose a dish that speaks the same language of Action against Hunger ". Customers have appreciated: since the campaign has started, sales of this dish have doubled!

Excuse me did a piece on the blog, in particular on Bangladesh, the country where the money collected last year thanks to the international campaign against hunger ended last year. On the blackboards in the rooms there is drawn the logo of the initiative (which goes on until December 31st).

The solidal burrata – that is served with grilled vegetables with basil cream – can be ordered for a casual lunch (you order at the counter, a pager is assigned that vibrates when the dish is ready and the customers go to take it directly to the kitchen) or for a dinner – or at the weekend – where table service is standard .

There is still time to discover a new place, eat a good thing and share with those who really need it. If you want to find out the restaurants against the Hunger closest to your home, click here (they are hundreds in all of Italy). So your appetite will be even better!
