Bikini: The Gourmet Hot Toast with Black Truffle That Wins Every Palate

There is a classic of Milanese tradition that in few places in the world manages to reach its highest form. The Bikini — the hot toast born in Milan's bars of the 1950s — at Dry Martini Sorrento finds its most luxurious reincarnation, transformed into a gourmet bite that speaks of tradition elevated to art.

The recipe of the Bikini at Dry Martini Sorrento is simple in its essence, extraordinary in its execution: bread toasted in butter to golden perfection, superior quality raw ham, mozzarella that melts slowly in the heat, and the final touch that changes everything — black truffle shavings, whose enveloping aroma spreads the moment the plate arrives at your table. €12.

A Classic Reinterpreted

The original Bikini was — and is — a toast filled with cooked ham and cheese, pressed and toasted. The Dry Martini Sorrento version maintains the structure of the classic but elevates every single ingredient: raw ham instead of cooked, fresh mozzarella instead of processed cheese, quality butter for toasting, and black truffle as the signature touch.

Black truffle — one of the most precious ingredients in world gastronomy — adds a completely new aromatic dimension to this toast. Its earthy, musky and deeply umami notes transform every bite into a multisensory experience.

The Perfect Moment

The Bikini at Dry Martini Sorrento is the ideal companion for the sunset aperitif: a satisfying but not heavy bite, capable of perfectly accompanying a classic Dry Martini or Champagne. Its rich, aromatic structure also holds its own alongside the most complex cocktails on the menu.

Simple in name, extraordinary in flavour. The Bikini at Dry Martini Sorrento proves that great dishes are often born from care for the smallest details.
