    Italian Grilling Recipes

    These Italian grilling recipes are the meals we make all summer long, especially when it's too hot to stand in the kitchen. These are Italian-American backyard classics that are easy enough for a weeknight but good enough for Sunday with family. Some are old-school Italian-American recipes I grew up eating in New York, and others are simple grilled dinners built around olive oil, garlic, lemon, herbs, and high-quality, fresh ingredients.

    In our house, the easiest Italian grill dinner is sausage and peppers with bread, grilled eggplant, and a cold tomato salad. While a Beef Spiedini or Stuffed Pork Chop might feel more like a Sunday main event. Whatever the occasion, we've got you covered!
