Nearly one year ago, I co-founded Casa Mia Italy Food & Wine with two culinary professionals. We set out to share our love of Italian food, wine and cooking with travelers in a joyful and convivial way. Casa Mia provides local culinary experiences, through delicious food walks and wine tastings, cooking classes and exclusive, food & wine excursions in and around Rome, Naples & Amalfi, Florence and Sicily.
In celebration of Casa Mia’s first birthday, I’ll be in Boston for Taste of Sicily, an 8-course Sicilian meal with Sicilian wines. We’ve teamed up with Sicilian chef Nino of Sicilicity to take over The Fireplace Restaurant for the event. I’ll be at the events to share our Sicilian travel adventures and love of Sicilian food and wine with you. I hope to see you there!

The Tasting Menu:
Here’s my list of the 10 most memorable meals that I enjoyed outside of home cooked delicacies (that’s an entire list in itself!). All are separate but equal. Enjoy and warm wishes for a New Year filled with good food, drink and lots of love!
Trattoria da Salvo
I’ve been in the U.S. for 2 weeks. When I land in Boston, my first food stop is my Mom’s kitchen and then 
Then on to the “super” 12” burrito. There’s a choice of 9+ fillings. I order grilled chicken, grilled vegetables or carnitas. Last week, I had the carnitas burrito on a soft wheat tortilla stuffed white rice, black beans, sour cream, salsa and extra jalapenos. The roast pork was tender and a bit spicy. The tomato, onion and cilantro salsa adds a fresh, citris taste to the mix.
