Ciao, I'm Fabio!

I don't run tours. I bring friends home.

I grew up in Palermo, where every day was organized around the table. After more than 30 years of cooking, and years running Fabio's Events & Catering in Pennsylvania, I still believe the best way to know a place is to eat with the people who live there.

These trips started when I invited a few friends back to Italy with me. They still work that way: one private villa, a small group, me in the kitchen, and the towns, markets and tables I'd show my own family.
