Enoteca Maria

Adriana of Spoleto, Umbria

My name is Adriana Busti Carioti, I was born and raised in Spoleto, Umbria (central Italy).

In the years of my youth I learned cooking from my mother, who would often cook for celebrations like weddings, first communions and confirmations and other events.

When I was 19 years old I moved to the United States where I settled in Washington D.C. and I got married with a fellow countryman who used to work for the Italian embassy. We had 5 sons, so I had countless opportunities for cooking my mother’s recipes (and more) and for following her tips and advises in the matter.

The idea of cooking at Enoteca Maria comes from one of my sons, Steve, who once told me “Mom, you love cooking and everybody loves your dishes, why don’t you give it a try?”

I followed his advice and now I travel from Washington D.C. to New York by bus to cook at Enoteca. And I enjoy doing it anytime!

I love Enoteca’s people, its atmosphere and style, and plus … I love New York!

    Hello: I was in Spoleto on our visit to Italy 18 years ago, It is a very charming town.

    My paternal grand parents are from Scheggia, maternal grandparents from Gubbio.(La fontana d matti)

    I live in Pennsylvania, but hopefully someday I will have the opportunity to visit your restaurant.
