Ciao amici! Grab your espresso, pull up a chair, and prepare for a soul-stirring journey through the sun-soaked hills of Italy and the heart of Toronto’s Italian diaspora with our molto Speciale guest, Daniela. Ambassador of Italian Culture, Cucina, and famiglia.

From toddling under grapevines in her Toronto backyard to kneading dough beside Mamma in the kitchen, Daniela's roots are steeped in tradition. She’s not just preserving the soul of Southern Italy, like us she’s reviving it with every story, every bite, and every lovingly crafted pasta strand.

We’ll talk childhood memories, the shift from luxury jewelry design to culinary artisanry, and her passion project Italus, described as a cultural and culinary experience that’ll have you booking a one-way ticket Italy.

This episode serves up the essence of “la vera Italia” with a side of nostalgia and a whole lot of heart.
