Origin and History:
Fritti misti has a long and rich history in Italy. It is believed to have originated in ancient Rome, where it was served at feasts and celebrations.

Today, fritti misti is still a popular dish in Italy, and it can be found on the menus of restaurants and street food stalls all over the country.

Before we embark on this flavorful journey, let’s equip ourselves with some kitchen wisdom. To achieve that perfect crunch, ensure your oil is dancing at around 350°F/180°C.
