This is a photo of Maurizio & his mom, Maria Letizia, who passed away last year at the age of 98. A strong, fiery, loving Roman woman who taught him most everything he knows about cooking and what he wanted to bring to Serafina…the restaurant he had envisioned opening for a long time.

Serafina was the name of his grandmother, but also the name of the restaurant his grandmother owned in Trastevere, where his whole family worked, and where he started his culinary career at the age of 14, tossing pizzas (and eating most of the mozzarella before it ever made it onto the pizza).😄

This long lineage of Italian cooking, family, and hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. Much of what makes Serafina what it is today started in that restaurant in Trastevere many years ago. ❤️

Emilio himself from by EMILIOMITI training Maurizio on our new pasta machine for Serafina which we were able to purchase from an extremely generous grant from . Maurizio that he had been dreaming about and drooling over for years. He was so excited about the pasta that it pumped out that he said it was going to fill our house just like Strega Nonna’s. 😂😂😂
