Who we are
Welcome to our family where every dish is crafted with love and a personal touch. Growing up in rural Wayne County gave me an understanding of what fresh ingredients will do for your dish. I developed a strong foundation for cooking at home with my family going to 4-H and attending Culinary Arts at the local vocational school. While attending The University of Akron I began working at the Wooster Inn and had the opportunity to work with many different Chefs trying different cuisines and foods. My husband Gino and I love to host gatherings for friends and family, putting together theme menus and wine pairings and now we want to bring our passion to your table. We want to make your event unforgettable with delicious food and warm, attentive service.
