Get to know me better

Calabrian chef and pizzaiolo with 11 years of passion! Bringing authentic Southern Italian dining from my restaurant to your home.

Born in Calabria, raised between wood-fired ovens and my nonna's kitchen. I moved to the UK and opened Take Italy Bistrot in Grantham, where I cook the food I grew up with honest, bold, made from scratch. Now I bring that same experience to your table: intimate dinners, pizza nights, cooking classes and private events. Every dish carries the soul of Southern Italy.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

An act of love. It's how I was raised in Calabria, you don't just feed people, you make them feel at home. That's what I do, every single time.

I learned to cook at...

My grandmother's side in Calabria, watching her make fresh pasta and slow-braised ragu before I could even reach the stove on my own.

A cooking secret...

Simplicity. The best Italian food doesn't need tricks. It needs great ingredients, respect for tradition, and someone who genuinely cares.
