About

You might know me from Fairfield, CT’s beloved BRICK + WOOD or as the original owner of Cavalli Pizza in Dallas, TX. I enjoy making people happy through my food, and bringing people together over a meal, sharing good times and creating memories.

I am a mother, wife, food lover, chef, creative thinker, recipe creator, and entrepreneur. My kitchen expertise focuses on the area of Pizzaiola, Chef and Baker with a specialty in Gluten Free. I am an Ambassador for Women in Pizza. I have over 15 years of experience as a successful restaurant owner, during which I was awarded Best Pizza, Best Italian Restaurant, Best Restaurant and more, in Connecticut and Texas. I believe in hard work and passion. I always make sure I am providing the highest level of quality and service. My belief is if you truly love what you are doing you will be successful. My motto is “Love Life (and Pizza).”

As a first generation Italian-American, I am thankful for all the sacrifices my parents made for myself and our family. Their guidance, love, discipline, and teachings have made me the person I am today. I love my heritage and am proud to be Italian. The love of cooking and gardening… taking from the earth and making delicious meals is what I enjoy the most. Italians pride themselves in using what nature provides to create amazing healthy dishes. They call it peasant cooking I call it Perfection! There is no better meal to provide your family than one that was made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients.

The traditions that were taught to me, I am now teaching my children so that they continue on for generations to come.

Love Life and Pizza… An Italian Lifestyle Blog is where I will teach you all those traditions and how to live LA DOLCE VITA (the sweet life) as Italians do! So, follow me on this journey where we will learn, laugh and have fun together...through food and culture.
