In Italy, cuisine is an expression of love and life. We believe that good, fresh, carefully made food feeds both our body and soul. Everywhere on the peninsula, the act of sharing a meal is central to connecting with one another; it serves as a foundation for relationships with family and friends. To Italians, dining celebrates what it means to be alive. James Beard Award winner and Michelin-star chef Tony Mantuano and wine and hospitality expert Cathy Mantuano, explain their philosophy on life with a simple idea: balance. This idea—that context and balance are important in every part of our lives—imbues all the Mantuanos do and make. Yolan is an authentic experience of Italian cuisine done right. A love letter to Italy.
