Cuisine is definitely a very important aspect of Italian culture and at Vee Jaes Italian Restaurant. Italian food is highly famed: greatly loved and tirelessly imitated the world over, it has been a source of endless pleasure and joie-de-vivre in countries far and wide. And everyone knows how a tired, depressed individual will react if they come across a sign for Italian dining in the midst of a busy, industrial city anywhere in the world: their hearts will quite simply glow!

Vee Jaes cookery is exceptionally varied, nutritious and healthy; traditions and recepies have been handed down from the Rafaraci, Cosentino and Cardile families over the centuries, and are associated mainly with country life of (Messina) Sicily, in that dishes are directly linked to what the Earth produces over the changing seasons: in other words, wholesome cooking whose goodness depends on all-natural ingredients. Italian cooking is full of marvellous single pasta dishes made with all types of vegetables and pulses. These are also the prime ingredients for many local specialities though countless types of meat dishes abound, as well as fine fish and seafoods from the plentiful seas around the peninsula, fragrant cheeses and exceptional desserts. But the undisputed star of Italian dining is the famous “first course”, in all its many varieties, including seafood dishes, pasta “dry” or in broth, soups, many kinds of noodle soups and minestrones, risottos and timbales.
