life + famiglia

With the events of last weekend,  a wave of sadness & fear have crashed over Italy as a sinister bombing in Brindisi killed a sixteen year old female student and just a day later a 6.0 earthquake struck the cheese making region of Emilia Romagna killing six, injuring dozens and leaving rubble in its wake.

Considering these tragic events, I'm not able to do a culinary indulgent post rather one about the people & moments that've touched me, & I won't forget....

Eataly {Torino}

My host, Paolo mentioned a few points of interest during my stay in his remarkable city and Eataly was on that list!  I've visited Eataly in New York City and was so impressed by the grandeur of the space with vibrant restaurants, specialized counters dedicated to fish, meat, pizza + pasta, panini, gelato & espresso and the ultra huge marketplace with specialty items to die for!
