ABOUT ME: Residing in Frascati since 2002, I am a food/wine-obsessed American married to a like-minded Roman. From the women in my Italian family, I was introduced to the finest local purveyors who offer the highest quality products. I am not a traditional or history-focused tour guide; what I am is a passionate curator of gastronomic experiences. (Follow on IG: @everflymsq)
