It's amazing how one family and their wonderful restaurant can have such a profound impact on our lives. Meeting Giovanna and her parents at their restaurant when I was just 22 years old was a turning point for me. I became a regular at their establishment, often visiting twice a week, and I was always greeted with warmth and kindness by Anna.
I even meet and have a picture of myself ,Joe Pesci and Willie Nelson when they had visited there .
Anna and I would share stories of our respective Italian families, and I felt a deep connection to their passion for food as my parents owned a restaurant when I was growing up in naples. And we are from jersey also.
Anna's dedication to ensuring every guest had a wonderful experience left a lasting impression on me. Her beauty, kindness, and honesty were evident in every interaction, and I was inspired by her commitment to excellence. I often caught glimpses of Giovanna father, who was tirelessly working in the kitchen to create beautiful dishes. Their hard work and dedication to their craft were truly admirable.
As I reflect on that time in my life, I am filled with gratitude for the impact Giovanna and her family had on me. I am truly blessed to have crossed paths with such remarkable individuals.
I send my prayers and well-wishes to Giovanna and family, and will keep praying for strength. Sincerely Gina Palermo.
