An Italian Classic to Start It All: The Antipasto Platter at Balagio 🇮🇹
Before the pasta, before the entrées—there’s antipasto. And at Balagio Restaurant in Homewood and Mokena, our Antipasto Platter isn’t just a starter—it’s a savory celebration of Italy’s finest flavors.
Each platter is artfully arranged with sliced mortadella, capicola, soppressata, salami, and prosciutto, paired with bold fontinella cheese cubes and a colorful medley of marinated olives, roasted red peppers, and pickled vegetables. Crisp crostini on the side bring the perfect crunch, ready to scoop, stack, and savor each bite.
Perfect for sharing, this appetizer sets the tone for the meal ahead—inviting, authentic, and full of heart. Whether you’re gathering with family or hosting a business dinner, the Antipasto Platter is the ideal way to open the table.
