ITHACA, NY — Gola Osteria’s owners Kami Drake-Epps and Chef Sam Epps visited Italy at the beginning of January.
Here are Kami’s top six favorite moments during her trip:
1. Family and Carpineto visit
Cooking pork in the fireplace!
2. L’Angolo Enoteca with Max in Rome
3. Dinner at La Casita with Pipo in Sicily
A brilliant restaurant next to our Villa in Sicily. No menu!
4. Dinner at La Rondinella in Scalea
A restaurant in Scalea Italy, very humble owner, farm to table. Delicious.
5. Private boat tour of a blue grotto and the coast of Taormina, Sicily
Caves, orange sponges and an amazing hour trip.
6. Cooking local fare at the villa in Sicily
Using local goods, Chef Sam made a fantastic meal as we were snowed in.
