“How delicious every dish was. We made 5 different pastas and the flavors of each was unique and so flavorful. The tour of the olive press was quite informative. What it takes to get such high quality EVOO is amazing. So much so that we bought a dozen bottles. And don’t forget Alina’s 6 year old niece. She was so serous in her pasta making, we know who will carry on the business in the next generation. BTW, come veeery hungry.”
