Get to know me better

Ciao! Excited to share my cooking passion with you.

Born in the Marche region of Italy, I grew up in a culture where food is not just sustenance — it is identity, tradition, and the language of hospitality. That foundation has shaped everything I do in the kitchen.

My culinary journey has taken me across Italy and internationally before planting roots here in the Okanagan, where I founded Toncini Modern Italian — a brand built on bronze-die artisan pasta, live experience dining, and the belief that a private dining event should feel genuinely extraordinary, not just catered.

Behind every experience I bring to your table is a team of passionate food professionals who share the same philosophy: real ingredients, Italian technique, and an obsession with the details that make a meal memorable. Whether it is an intimate dinner for eight or a full wedding reception, the standard never changes.

The Okanagan has become home — and its incredible local produce, wine culture, and community have made it the perfect place to bring a little piece of Italy to life.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

My mother tongue. A way to carry my Italian heritage forward and share it with our guests.

I learned to cook at...

Formed at Mamma and Nonna's table in Italy, refined across kitchens in Australia and Canada before founding Toncini Modern Italian in the Okanagan.

A cooking secret...

Intention. Every dish carries a message before the techniques, or the plating. The finest food is not just made, it is meant.
