Bringing Italy Home to You
What better way to experience a taste of Italy than for our staff to travel there and bring it home for you! We love visiting Italy and so do all of our team members. Starting in 1991, we invited the entire staff to accompany us on our trip. Every other year since then, we’ve toured a different area of the country, visiting supplier’s facilities – wineries, olive groves, pasta factories – and authentic Italian restaurants, of course!
Thank you to Bella Fritz Photography for their wonderful images through this site.
Over 280 plane tickets later, we’ve had some amazing times, sharing stories and laughs, sights and smells and sounds, and learning about history and food. Then we bring it all home to share with you. Ask your waitperson about the last Italy trip they were on – or are looking forward to.
