"Vitello Tonnato" has its origins in Italian cuisine, specifically in the Piedmont region. Its name literally means "veal with tuna" and describes the main dish, which often consists of thinly sliced, cooked veal served with a creamy sauce made from tuna, mayonnaise, capers, and spices. The exact origins of the dish are somewhat unclear, but it is generally believed to have become popular in the 19th century. Some sources trace it back to culinary traditions from the 18th and 19th centuries, when many Italian dishes reflected influences from both local cuisine and French gastronomy. Traditionally, veal is used. However, this recipe also works very well with beef "manzo tonnato" or beef tonnato.
