Inspired by generations of extraordinary women, the menu is a heartfelt tribute to Nonna Rosa, Mamma Caterina, and Zia Angela. These remarkable women, born and raised in the picturesque region of Calabria, have imparted the essence of Italian cooking: it’s not just about following recipes, but about cooking with love and intuition.
