As gloomy weather descended upon Northern California, I was in the mood for something warm, hearty and comforting. For me, Italian food is always a wise go-to. To satisfy this craving I decided to stop by a long-time Sacramento favorite, Paesanos, and treat my mom to dinner (insert Best Son Ever award here). Paesanos’ inviting [...]
There is nothing I love more than traditional Italian fare. No matter where I am, an authentic Italian meal can instantly transport me to my cousin Louise’s dinner table in New York, where my big Italian family often gathers around an exhaustive feast for no particular occasion other than for the sheer pleasure of eating [...]
I have an approximately one-weekend-a-month tradition of heading down to visit my family in the Bay Area. Oftentimes, particularly during the summer, we’ll spend Saturday afternoon whipping up a delicious evening meal, inviting some friends over and enjoying dinner outside. This past weekend, the theme of the dinner was homemade pasta and we prepared two [...]
One day while watching the Food Network I got the idea to make homemade creamy polenta. When I went to the store all they had was pre-cooked polenta in a roll. So, I rearranged my dinner and decided to make something that looked like a tower. I was in a hurry and didn’t have time [...]
Bomboloni from I Preferiti di Boriana at the San Francisco Ferry Building.
Back in 2004, I was lucky enough to study aboard in Florence, Italy, where, like anyone would, I fell in love with the food, the wine and the culture. But it wasn’t until just a year or two ago that I was introduced to Trattoria Corso in Berkeley and felt like I’d finally discovered a [...]

Start the meal with your choice of a small Mista salad, Caesar salad, or cup of soup. For the main course, order any of Piatti’s small pastas like the [...]
Brittany – I love brunch. And I love pizza. Now I’m no mathematician, but I’d like to think that in the case of brunch and pizza, the whole is even greater than the sum of its parts. Are you following? To clarify … BRUNCH + PIZZA = AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS How did I discover this, you [...]
I’ve lived in Davis for just over two years now and still love trying new restaurants. When Rick Kushman suggested that the SacFoodies try Osteria Fasulo as part of the courtyard dining series I jumped at the chance. Osteria Fasulo is an Italian restaurant located in West Davis: its location is unique in itself – [...]
I love cooking, but I’ll be the first to admit that my skills could use a little coaching. Granted, there are times when I take that first bite of a hard-labored dinner, and I’m just about convinced that I could open my own restaurant in New York City. Then, there are those other nights (probably [...]
