About us
We are a group that loves Italian...food, fun and SPICY MEATBALLS! We try to get to all the different parts of the metro area, so hopefully we will go to some restaurants near you. Suggestions for places to go are always welcomed. My policy is for one free no-show, and after a second, I will remove you from the group, as it is not fair to those on the wait list or to the restaurant when people do not attend. Hope to see you soon. Thank you for joining!

Tuscan Ribollita and worldwide wine tasting and pairing
Location not specified yet## Yesss!!!! I am going to make it again !!!!!!!! ( it takes days), and my version of the Tuscan Ribollita is pretty damn good.
You will be able to see what is going on in the kitchen and help in the preparation and plating of the dinner understanding what you are actually eating and how is made.
We will talk about the wine you are tasting exchanging our palate differences and may be able to learn something about it.
Parking needs to be spread out on the street, not just in front of the house (I received complaints) . The Public Library parking lot also, is beautiful, illuminated and 150 feet away.So, join me for this unique food and wine experience!!
