About the Chef
The chef is a second-generation Italian who grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Paterson New Jersey. I learned cooking from my mother and my grandmother. I married into an Italian family from Tuscany. I loved eating this regions food and learning, about the region and how to cook its food.
My passion for food has not wavered since I was a child. Whether watching and helping prepare our meals, either making pasta with gravy, roasts, fish courses and deserts for Sunday or the massive spread for our holiday dinners that we would sit for hours and eat. Or learning how to create what I had eaten at some of the restaurants I traveled to. In either case over the past 10 years I’ve concentrated on my Italian cooking heritage, and entertaining my family and friends. Always keeping in mind what grandma said, “It’s your right to have the best” and now “I give you my best and I hope it is good enough for you”.
