The Traditional Foods of Venice, Italy!

Welcome to La Bella Vita Cucina where I share recipes inspired by my family's cucina. Beginning with my Nonna and mother teaching me by their sides and in my family’s restaurants in the U.S. and Italy, I've been cooking for over 50 years. Each recipe is tested by time and some serious family critiques. I’m here to help you become a master in the kitchen and to 'wow' those you serve with delightful recipes whether cherished heirlooms or exciting and new. I hope to inspire you with delicious and beautiful recipes . . . and always served with 'amore'! Buon Appetito!
