“Angela is an excellent host and an outstanding Italian chef. She and son, Victor, welcomed us into their beautiful home and were really engaging and patient. Angela took us through the entire process of making the pasta in a very artistic and creative way. The pear Bruschetta was not just a beautiful masterpiece, but also a gastronomic one. And then when we got to making the Ravioli, Angela was there with us at every step of the way, keeping it jovial and witty, with a keen attention to detail.
