If you crawl through any small Italian village, or run through the door of your Nonna’s house, you will not only be met with big warm hugs and laughter but the smell of tomatoes and garlic.

It seems that recipe books are built into the knuckles of Nonna’s, and for Johnnie Fusco, his have been written the same. Tracing the pages from Nonna’s home garden and generational cookbook, Johnnie continues the family legacy of garden grown tomato sauce and hand kneaded pasta.

He continues to welcome flavour and family into his kitchen— filling bellies and celebrating life.
