About The Authors…

What do you get when you bring together an Executive Chef, a private Chef/Caterer, a Restaurant Consultant and a Gourmet Foodie/Importer from Rome? Abbondanza! Together we are dedicated to bring our audience the best in Italian life, style, love, fashion, food, passion, travel, entertainment, arts and culture!

We’ve recently expanded our core team by reaching out and bringing in some additional members that share our passion for all things Italian. To be more specific, we are honored to have the very talented Nancy S. Mure and Michael A. Tucci join our team.

Welcome to our home… now sit down and have something to eat!
