Notes: Chef Vittorio Renda is Buca di Beppo's chef responsible for selecting the recipes for the menus of each Buca restaurant. Vittorio grew up in Calabria, Italy, where he learned to cook at an early age under the tutelage of his father and grandfather. Prior to joining Buca di Beppo as director of culinary development in December 1993, he honed his skills working throughout Italy for 12 years. The name "saltimboca" means "jump into the mouth" -- because a dish this delicious (pounded with prosciutto and massaged with sage) gets eaten so quickly that it seems to leap from the plate right into mouth.
