Enoteca Maria

Posted on March 28, 2003 - by Enoteca

Rosa from Schio, Vicenza

Our Grandmas

nonna-002

Rosa Lievore Turano was born in Schio, a provence of Vicenza located in the northern region of Veneto. She and her family moved to the United States on July 3, 1956, where they joined her father in Weehawken, NJ. Among her earliest food memories are her nonna preparing gnocchi and tortellini from scratch.

Rosa comes from a long tradition of food and recipes being shared and passed along from generation to generation. Though she remembers her nonna’s cooking, Rosa says that she actually learned to cook from her mother. As a child, Rosa would help her mom prepare pasta con Sugo di Pomodori e Tonno on Friday evenings. She also learned to make Fegato all Veneziana (calf’s liver) and her older sister showed her how to cook Osso Bucco.

Today, Rosa is grandmother to seven grandchildren. She shares her love of cooking with her two oldest, Briana and Nicholas. Rosa loves being able to share her family’s recipes with the hungry customers at Enoteca Maria.

    Are you the same Rosa that lived in Santorso, Timonchio? Do you remember we used to play together and our parents were good friends? I live in British Columbia, Canada.

    Hi Rosa, How are you and Jack. I went to the restaurant on Friday, must say that the food is wonderful, the music, is another story, too loud for the size of the room making conversation impossible. Which day of the week are you there?
