A story about Don Raffaele

A Real Story of Italy's Food and Its People

Our family (la famiglia) name

Growing up in a small town in Italy, We were raised by our Parents and Grandparents with simple and traditional values. Their philosophy was that food was meant to bring people together to “feed” not only their bodies but FILL their souls. Executive Chef and Owner(s) Raffaele Iorio, Roseann Marra Iorio and their amazing children Rosaria, Ariella, Rina & Daniel all carry on this family tradition in the pleasure of eating good meals prepared with love and dedication.
