The Italians have a great deal to teach us about relaxing at the table.  No matter how many things might be on your agenda, at mealtime, everything comes to a halt.  They go to the table anticipating their favorite dishes, desiring food that reminds them of home and hearth.  These entrees incorporate the abundant vegetables of the season with fresh seafood for a welcoming repast.

Andrea Loreto ~ Born in Florence, Italy, Andréa now calls Eugene his home. Having spent the first 30 years of his life enjoying fine food and convivial living surrounded by friends and family in Tuscany, he found that his passion for high quality food and meaningful dining experience followed him. Indeed, like his musical accent, it is the very foundation of who he is and part of what consistently draws people tall over the world to his table. Andrea's earliest memories are of cooking side by side with his grandmother in he small kitchen in the countryside outside Pisa. Founder and owner of an Italian import company, Andréa divides his time between running a business, keeping up with his young son, and sharing his enthusiasm for cooking and entertaining with others.
