Marriage, Italian-American Style...
We are a young, Italian-American couple who are passionate about all things related to Italian Old and New World cuisine. With the advent of blogging, we figured it only made sense to take our passion to the Web and create a blog devoted to it. Our intention is for this blog to serve as a meeting point for people to discuss their own passions related to Italian food and share recipes, restaurant reviews or their thoughts and memories surrounding the "king" of all cuisines.
