Our family is from Naples, Italy.  The tomato in innumerable combinations has been on our table since childhood.  This year we planted 80 plants, 24 varieties.

Each week we bring a different selections of plates depending on which plants give fruit, and availability.  We hope you’ll enjoy!

 

Buon Appetito, Mario & Sal
