Chef's Choice Spiedini Menu at Mattina

At Mattina, Chef Matthew Accarrino brings the creativity and precision that earned him Michelin recognition and a James Beard Award into a warm, neighborhood restaurant where exceptional cooking is made approachable. After years leading celebrated fine dining kitchens, Accarrino created Mattina as a place where the same commitment to craftsmanship, seasonality, and thoughtful technique could be enjoyed in a more relaxed setting, inspired by the everyday cafés, markets, and trattorias of Italy.

The centerpiece of this experience is spiedini, one of Italy's oldest and most beloved cooking traditions. Derived from the Italian word spiedo, meaning "skewer" or "spit," spiedini are ingredients carefully threaded onto skewers and cooked over an open flame. Found throughout Italy in countless regional variations, spiedini showcase how simple ingredients become something extraordinary through fire, smoke, and careful preparation.

For this experience, the Mattina team creates a seasonal progression of wood-fired spiedini that reflects the freshest ingredients available each day.  The result is a menu that is both rustic and refined, designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

The spiedini menu will be paired with a glass of wine chosen by the Mattina team to complement the day's menu. 

Perfect for lunch or dinner, the Chef's Choice Spiedini Experience offers a unique way to discover Mattina through one of Italy's most timeless culinary traditions.
