"Chi mangia bene, vive bene"
Who eats well, lives well.
This is what nonna taught us. If you feel the same, we look forward to feeding you, bullshiting with you, or even working alongside you. Ci vediamo (see you soon)!
From Southern Italy to Southern Maine
Ciao, my name is Laura Iaffaldano (I-fell down-oh no)! In case you couldn’t tell by my name, my family is from Italy, specifically from a southern coastal region called Puglia. We’re known for our rocky beaches, seafood and centuries-old (olive) trees - not too different from Maine.
I come from a long line of nonnas. These jovial grandmas are known for showing their love through food and preserving traditions around the table. As the first of my family born here in America, I felt I was slowly losing their soulful way of life. Here's to being the next generation keeping people smiling around the table!
