According to tradition, these light fried pastries - topped with pastry cream (crema pasticcera), and finished with a sour cherry (amarena) and powdered sugar - honor the humble, nourishing foods associated with Saint Joseph, the patron saint of fathers and workers.

Throughout southern Italy, bakeries and prepare zeppole as a sweet gesture of gratitude for fathers, turning the pastry into both a festive treat and a symbolic offering that celebrates family, generosity, and the quiet dignity embodied by Saint Joseph.

A16 San Francisco, Oakland and Napa will feature Zeppole di San Giuseppe on Thursdayโ€™s menus - and they will be available at A16 La Pala in the Ferry Building starting tomorrow morning โ˜•๏ธ

An iconic Campanian pasta, maccaronara is made from a soft, stretchy dough that yields a delightful chewy noodle - almost the same shape / consistency as an udon noodle.

An A16 classic, we serve it tossed with a little Neapolitan ragu because the simple preparation highlights its distinctive, resilient texture. Most pasta machines have settings for tagliatelle and tonnarelli. Maccaronara is somewhere in between. The pasta sheets for it are thicker than the sheets for tagliatelle, but the noddle is narrower, though not as narrow as tonnarelli.

Sign up by end of day today (November 30) for December's festive holiday wine club selections - this month also available for one-time gift selections

Each month, we'll share bottles with a story ~ wines from producers we trust, regions we've explored and estates that embody everything we love about Italian winemaking. Every wine tells a story of the place it's from, the hands that made it ~ and why we believe it belongs in your glass.

And each month we will dive deeper into Italy's diverse geographies, climates, great varietals and cultural influences - traveling the Italian boot along wine routes less traveled.

Choose what works best for you, monthly for a regular rhythm of discovery, or quarterly if you'd rather take things slow - either way, the wines are curated with the same care and intention.
