Pranzo, the Italian midday meal, is the main event of the day. Breakfast and dinner pale by comparison. Traditionally a long, grandiose event, even now with hectic work schedules in some parts of Italy, Italians still make time for their pranzo. Even the Italian schools finish at 1 p.m. so children of all ages can go home and enjoy pranzo with their family. Pranzo consists of many courses: antipasti, (the pre-meal); il primo, (the first course, a pasta or rice dish); secondo, (meat, fish, or fowl); contorno, (vegetable); and dolci, (dessert). Lisa's Italy brings directly to your door from Italy every ingredient to prepare the perfect pranzo and the highlight of your Italian day.
