A symbol of Italian excellence, Prosecco DOC takes on new shades when paired with the flavors of America’s great cities.
On one hand, it’s the heart of Italian conviviality. On the other, it shows a remarkable ability to adapt—especially in the most informal settings.
How? Through street food, the beating heart of urban food culture in places like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

New York: Prosecco DOC & Pizza Slice
The Big Apple is the ultimate food-on-the-go city, where every street corner can turn into an open-air restaurant.
And nothing says NYC quite like the classic pizza slice—crispy underneath, gooey on top, often enjoyed while weaving through skyscrapers.

The perfect pairing? A Prosecco DOC Extra Dry. Its refreshing bubbles cut through the richness of the cheese and lift the slight acidity of the tomato sauce.
The result? A perfectly balanced contrast that elevates the simplicity of the slice while celebrating the elegance of the glass.

Try it with a pepperoni slice, too: Prosecco DOC cleanses the palate, setting the stage for the spicy salami to shine.

Los Angeles: Prosecco DOC & Taco al Pastor
Sun-soaked and multicultural, Los Angeles proudly celebrates its Latin soul through its street food.
Tacos al pastor—marinated meat, pineapple, fresh cilantro—are a California staple.

Enter Prosecco DOC Brut: drier and more direct, it plays beautifully with the sweetness of the pineapple and the heat of the spices.
One sip refreshes. The next invites another bite.

Chicago: Prosecco DOC & “All Dressed” Hot Dog
In Chicago, street food has a clear identity.
The Chicago-style hot dog is a local icon: poppy seed bun, sausage, pickles, tomatoes, yellow mustard, onions—and don’t even think about adding ketchup.

For this bold mix of flavors, the perfect partner is a Prosecco DOC Rosé: aromatic, fruity, with a touch of elegance that softens the complexity of the dish while keeping it light and easy to drink.
An unexpected pairing—but surprisingly spot-on.

The connection between Prosecco DOC and street food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about spirit.
Both represent a democratic, accessible, and authentic way of coming together.
Wherever there’s a makeshift table, a colorful food truck, or a sidewalk turned social scene, Prosecco fits right in.

And as America’s food capitals keep pushing boundaries and redefining urban taste, Italian bubbles prove themselves more contemporary than ever: perfect for toasting in jeans, with friends, under city lights.

New York, Los Angeles, Chicago:
Each city has its signature street food.
And each of those finds a fresh voice beside a glass of Prosecco DOC.

Because true elegance today is knowing how to feel at home—anywhere.
