When one thinks of the gastronomic DNA of the country it is impossible not to reflect on the contribution of the Italian community.

Three million women and men who landed in Argentina between 1871 and 2010 (source National Institute of Statistics of Italy), who contributed their recipes and culinary customs to the tradition of beef, the Creole heritage, the flavors of the native peoples and the customs of other immigrants who arrived from Europe and other parts of the planet.

That human avalanche installed on the Argentine tables pizza, ice cream, vitel toné, fresh and dried pasta, tuco, milanesa, pascualina, bagna cauda, fainá, pesto, sausages, cannoli and sfogliatelle. They are acquired flavors that were transmitted, without losing a gram of their evocative power, from generation to generation.

The history of Ipolitina

Michael, the Calabrian nonno of Ipolitina.

During the pandemic Agustín (35) and Juan Ignacio Schiariti (31) grandchildren of Littoria Ippolita "Tina" and Miguel (Calabrian immigrants arrived in the 50s from Ricadi, Vibo Valentia) began to consider, along with millions of people, what their future could be.

The grandparents had a small place on the street of thirteen square meters. Juan and Agustín believed that this space could be transformed into something they had been imagining for a long time: a fortress of gastronomic Italianness. Encouraged by the love, roots and charisma of nonna Ipolitina put together the puzzle and decided to dedicate it to the grandmother.

They used every millimeter of the available space to fill it withauthentic non-perishable Italian products: biscotti, chocolate bonbons, dry pasta, canned tomatoes, sauces, selected flours, durum wheat semolina, amaretti, wines, liqueurs, coffee, taralli, Carnaroli rice, olive oil, preserves, balsamic vinegar and pistachio cream.

The pastry shop of Ipolitina.

Something else was missing. They added pizzas to the cut in the Roman style (seventeen variants that rotate weekly). They worked thoroughly on the dough. It must be a cloud of pleasure. They looked for slow fermentations that transform into lightness and large alveoli.

They imagined sweet "covers" characterized by true Italic flavor. They worked with the pizza of the day concept. Production is limited. When it's over... Ends. There is no replenishment. Aunt Monica is in charge of the place.

What to eat in Ipolitina

The pizza de patate (potatoes) combines crispy and light dough, millimeter slices of potato, parmigiano reggiano, mascarpone, smoked provola, EVO olive oil and rosemary.

Ipolitina pizzas are light crust with large alveoli.

The Margherita 2.0 is an interpretation of the most popular homonymous variant in Italy. Tomato, mozzarella and basil are joined by a creamy and aromatic pesto of arugula, parmigiano reggiano and lemon zest.

La Mortazza fuses tomato, mortadella with pistachio, mozzarella fiordilatte, stracciatella, parmigiano reggiano, basil pesto, pistachios and EVO olive oil.

The cannoli of Ipolitina.

The pastry shop is the fiefdom of Ipolitina. Cannoli in four variants, crispy puff pastry sfogliatella, pasticciotti (with pastry) and Sicilian brioche (pistachio cream, whipped cream, pistachio grains) give moments of sweetness and happiness. Arrivederci.
