Spring lamb is the classic centerpiece of an Easter table and, for very good reason: it’s delicious!
My North Beach recipe is a taste memory amalgam of the roasted capretto that my Mom made and baby lamb abbacchio and scottadito that I savored in springtime Rome.
The hardest part of this dish is finding baby lamb. I’m lucky to live in San Francisco, so I got mine at Golden Gate Meat Company in the Ferry Building. If you can’t get the breast use chops or even a leg of lamb. Any cut works with this recipe.
The breast riblets are crispy and fall off the bone tender. The chops have a golden brown crust and delicate flavor and can be cooked to your preferred doneness.

Thank you so much for this beautiful recipe. I made it easter sunday for my extened family and we couldnt be more amazed. This was defimately one of the best dinners iver ever made. Thank you so much again. I dont agree about the child abuse comment below though, its just a natural part of life people are sheltered from now. They think cause they but pre butchered meat in a store they are somehow morally superior.
I just made this …..loved it…..
next time I might add 4 anchovies instead of 2…..

I appreciate your recipes so much!
As a fifth generation Italian American who is now trying to live and learn to cook traditional Italian dishes, I am finding a lot of the more complicated italian recipes available online, but the more classic, common, simple recipes like this one I can’t seem to find (probably because every Italian knows them!), but I wanted very badly to make it for Easter (as is traditional).
Grazie Mille!!
I love u:)
Pure torment to (just) watch ;o)
I love how Gianni knows so much about so many of the Italian dishes and all of the essential ingredients. Buona Pasqua, Gianni!
Gianni I really enjoy your recipes. It is like having an old friend teach you his personal family recipes! Thank You !
My favorite channel !

Gianni…He MUST have been 5 or 6!!!!
I was salivating watching this – god bless our mothers.
One more question, I am using the leg of lamb, should I cut it in pieces too or leave it as whole?
That really looks delicious. I love Lamb, when cooked properly it’s one of the tastiest meats in the world.
Love your videos!
Gianni I am making this tonight’s sunday dinner for the family, Thank you for this beautiful recipe…
