Hors D’oeuvres to Impress

While you’re putting the finishing touches on the table and doling out the seasonal cocktails, you need a spread to kick the meal off right. Carlino’s selection of holiday brie is a festive way to welcome your guests and whet their appetites. Choose from topped brie, available with a variety of toppings—including pumpkin pecan, dried figs and walnuts and cranberry orange—or classic brie en croute, imported French brie wrapped in fluffy puff pastry. Try it stuffed with dried figs and walnuts or cranberry orange for an irresistible wow factor.

Appetizers, anyone? Carlino’s seasonal soups are delicious and warming, and set the tone for a fantastic meal. The roasted butternut squash soup is fall in a bowl: roasted butternut squash, potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, shallots and vegetable stock meld for the ultimate comfort soup. Or try Carlino’s holiday soup: a classic wedding-style soup complete with escarole, chicken, pastina, chicken stock and baby meatballs. Yum.

To the Turkey!

Carlino's Thanksgiving

If you’re taking on turkey, don’t spend the whole day roasting and basting. Carlino’s whole-cooked turkeys are locally raised, all-natural, antibiotic and cage-free, so there’s no guilt here. Each turkey is rubbed with Carlino’s signature blend of herbs and seasonings, roasted to golden brown perfection and served with savory homemade turkey gravy. If you want to try a spin on the classic, try the boneless stuffed turkey breast, stuffed with cranberry focaccia bread filling with gravy.

If you or your guests aren’t into turkey, don’t worry—Carlino’s offers entrees to suit every palate, including stuffed chicken breast with a wild rice medley, sweet cinnamon apples and cranberry reduction glaze and bone-in spiral sliced ham glazed with brown sugar, honey, apple cider and Dijon mustard.

Sides of the Season
