Genovese is one of the oldest pasta sauces in Naples. Despite the name, it is Neapolitan, not from Genoa. Onions are cooked down slowly with meat until they turn soft, sweet and golden. Unlike ragù, it has very little tomato. At Donna Margherita, we braise short ribs with onion, celery, carrots and a touch of tomato for 7 hours, then serve it over pappardelle.

Neapolitan pizza has a soft, thin center and a puffy, airy crust, and it is baked quickly in a very hot oven. New York pizza is larger and crisper and is often sold by the slice. Donna Margherita makes Neapolitan pizza in a brick oven with imported mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes.
