In 1909, my great-grandmother, Ana Restivo, arrived at Ellis Island from Naple, Italy, as part of a wave of immigrants seeking a better life in America. She lovingly cared for my father and passed down her passion for Italian cooking. Ana's homemade soups, sauces, and breads became cherished family staples, which she passed along to her daughter, Marie.
Marie, my grandmother, was known for her signature dish: a hearty, flavorful lasagna. Visiting her home meant being welcomed with a warm hug and the irresistible aroma of Italian delicacies fresh from the oven.
These traditions - rooted in love, family, and the joy of sharing good food and drink - are the hearts of what I bring to you at Capisce.
Cheers,
