We organized a lovely Valentine's Dinner Event at #TheItalianPlace: the atmosphere, company, food and wine were outstanding: Italian Appetizers, Beef Wellington and Valentine's Crostatine were the stars at the table. Not to mention the presentation and food demonstration done by Chef Mauro. What a marvelous evening!
What a nice evening we had yesterday at the Italian Place in Old Town Alexandria! Chef Mauro's Cooking Demonstration was outstanding, as usual. All the guest were so kind with us: they loved the company, food, wine and our book. Amazing indeed!
A very nice day at the #MountVernonUnitarianChurch Holiday Market Event! The organization was perfect and all the customers we had the pleasure to meet were adorable indeed. So many people showed a genuine interest in our book about Northern Italian cuisine and traditions. Thank you.
The NIAF event was fantastic indeed; great vendors and amazing customers and friends!
We are very satisfied that the Retirement Party we organized yesterday was successful.
