Your Host
Meet Christina
My love of cooking began with my grandmother, where recipes were passed down through generations and every meal was an opportunity to gather, share stories, and connect.
This experience is inspired by the Italian style dinners I host in my own home—where a thoughtfully curated, multi-course meal brings people together, calendars are cleared, conversations linger, and no one wants the evening to end.
Through my travels throughout Southern Italy and my connection to the traditions that shaped my upbringing, I continue to bring those moments to life through authentic Italian cuisine. Each dish is prepared with intention, honoring the stories, flavors, and love that make food more than just a meal.
My goal is to create an evening where you can slow down, be present with the people you love, and experience the warmth of Italian hospitality around your own table.

I am happy to accommodate many dietary preferences and allergies with advance notice. Please share your needs when inquiring so I can determine the best menu options. At this time, I am unable to accommodate gluten-free requests.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking at least one week in advance to allow time to thoughtfully plan your menu, source ingredients, and prepare for your experience. For special occasions, earlier booking is encouraged.
Do I need to provide anything for the dinner?
Because this is an intimate in-home dining experience, I use your kitchen, cookware, serving dishes, and tableware to create the meal in your home. This allows each gathering to feel personal and authentic—like welcoming guests into your own Italian kitchen.
