Season 4, Episode 7: Napkin - Gabrielle Hamilton

Milan holds some of Gabrielle’s all time favorite experiences on the planet in the form of food, restaurants and overall “Italian-ness.” It’s a meeting ground of both contemporary and classic Italian culture. But what really entices Gabrielle are the small details, an embroidered curtain, a classically non-garnished plate, a perfectly folded Napkin. The work is centuries old in tradition and respect, quiet and not ostentatious or for personal gain.
In this episode, Gabrielle revisits Da Giacomo, a restaurant that prepares a timeless baked fish in salt crust dish. Along with the curtains, they way the espresso is served, the fish prepared, the waiters waiter, the “napkin” defines something deep, wide and artisanal for her. She cooks baccala with Antonia Klugman and orange swordfish with Marta Pulini.
