If you’re looking for a cheeky night out, then look no further than Peperoni’s stellar Secreto Pork Jowl ($16++).

Some unfortunate pig from Iberia got his/her cheek lopped off to be grilled on Peperoni’s grill. Said Iberico pork jowl is simply seasoned with a dash of salt and pepper before its grilled to tender, melt in your mouth porcine perfection.

It’s a bit oily due to the high fat content of the swine, but the zesty and slightly sour apple romaine lettuce restrains it from getting overbearingly rich and cloying. It’s simple but surprisingly superb, just like Italian cuisine should be.
