Restaurants closed? Home delivery: here is the map

Throughout Italy many commercial activities do not stop and try to resist the Covid-19. This is what many restaurants and shops do by offering customers online menus and home shopping after adhering to the #stayathome decree. Here is a small guide made for you by First&Food at the time of the quarantine.

In Milan, home delivery is also working for those places that usually don't offer delivery. The main dish of Italian cuisine, pizza arrives at home even in these days as many have enhanced the service as did Pizzium, Giolina and Marghe who deliver fresh bread and pizza on Facebook for the elderly in the via Cadore and via Plinio area. The Crosta pizzeria has launched a fundraiser: two euros (one from the customer, one from the pizzeria) to be donated to the Luigi Sacco Hospital in Milan for research.

Sushi also arrives at home with the Wicky's Innovative Japanese Cuisine restaurant which updates its menu every day, while the oldest Japanese restaurant in Milan, Tomoyoshi Endo, has come up with a seafood menu for delivery with hosomaki, futomaki, sushi and donburi. Among the Milanese classics, the #Masuelliacasa service of Trattoria Masuelli was born in these days with a minimum order of 30 euros between lasagne and veal with tuna sauce; the Giacomo Group, in its various forms from rotisserie to bistro, carries out a free delivery service for the inhabitants of the via Sottocorno area, lunch and dinner.

He does not give up on arriving at the homes of his customers also the Michelin-starred Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, Bergamo, which offers three different types of four-course menus each. The delivery of the Cerea family restaurant is not limited only to the Bergamo area but borders on Milan and Brescia. On the other hand, the service at Osteria Valle Bresciana is called Delivery Good with three menus for the home (delivery within 8 kilometres).

Also Turin is equipped for online ordering. The pizza brought home can be Tellia's Roman-style pan-cooked pizza, whose pizza maker Enrico Murdocco has made himself available in recent days for doctors, nurses and operators of the Civil Protection and the Red Cross, on the front line against Covid-19. So many requests that the delivery menu has been extended to many areas of the Piedmontese city. Or you can eat agnolotti del plin, green anchovies and bagna cauda with vegetables at home thanks to the historic hotel restaurant San Giors in Borgo Dora which has prepared an ad hoc menu with wines, seven days a week, for lunch and dinner . For those with a sweet tooth, there is also the Gelateria Silvano in via Nizza which makes deliveries with trays from 500 to 1.500 grams: free delivery for stracciatella, cream, pistachio, hazelnut and many veg flavours.

Gourmet burgers and craft beers with InFermento Pub in Faenza which has launched a delivery service running every evening from 18.30 to 22. In Cervia, free deliveries for Mustard Laboratorio del Gusto sandwiches through the Senapelab app, as well as for PGI flatbreads from the local Piadina del Mare on the Deledda seafront. Sweets at home with the Gualtieri pastry shop in Florence which delivers cakes from 12 to 18 throughout the city, while in Sant'Ambrogio C.Bio, the organic shop of the well-known Cibreo, it delivers vegetables, bread, eggs, milk but also ready meals to the office or home.

Many possibilities also in Bologna. The Mercato Ritrovato, a traditional weekly appointment in the spaces of the Cineteca, delivers home-grown products from local producers after Mayor Merola has decided to close the farmer's market. In addition, the Mercato Ritrovato is giving a bag from the market to doctors and nurses as a thank you for their work these days. Penalized by the Coronavirus the guys from Nasty Burger Club, which has just opened in via San Mamolo: through My Menu and Just Eat they deliver their American hamburgers for both lunch and dinner. In addition to Pizzium by Nanni Arbellini, Bianco Fiore also delivers pizzas at home. Ca' Shin on the hills is also organized: chef Ivan Poletti prepares tailor-made menus in eco-sustainable containers, from pickled vegetables to cheeses, from tortellini to tagliatelle with meat sauce. Complimentary with a basket of freshly baked bread and a choice of a bottle of Lambrusco or Pignoletto.

Even the Zivieri Macelleria makes free home deliveries under the Two Towers and in the province, both their products and some ready-made dishes. There are many chefs who have rolled up their sleeves: from Massimiliano Poggi of Vicolo Colombina to Mario Ferrara of Scaccomatto. The two initiatives launched by Luca Giovanni Pappalardo, chef of the Sicilian cuisine restaurant, Pane e Panelle, are curious: on Facebook he created the group Ask the chef and on YouTube he is holding some simple and practical cooking lessons.
