Mark Fantino

Classically trained chef, armchair historian with a deep interest in Italian cuisine and history.

While I don't possess authoritative expertise of Italy, my personal experiences in that country have been relatively limited – just three visits spanning over 30 years. However, my fervent and comprehensive exploration of its cuisine during this time might make my perspective of interest to some readers.

This amateur website, my first, is flawed and unfinished, yet I take comfort that my subject, Italy, is also flawed and unfinished.
