I joined renowned Chef Rocco DiSpirito at his newest culinary venture, Il Pellicano, located in the heart of Southampton. During our conversation, we delved into his secrets for cooking the perfect pasta dish, from choosing the freshest local ingredients to mastering the marriage of texture and flavor. Rocco also shared where he finds inspiration when crafting Il Pellicano’s menu, drawing on the rich culinary traditions of the Hamptons and his passion for elevating classic Italian dishes like linguine vongole and shrimp crudo with a modern twist.
