"The story of this place was born in one of those wonderful villages on the Southern Coast of Italy. And more precisely, from a booklet that I accidentally found in a pantry in my maternal grandparent's beach house last summer. A little green book, that same colour that you will find in our restaurant. A little book that I remember as if it were today, my grandmother always kepis the kitchen and that she consulted from time to time. A hundred year old booklet with dozens and dozens of recipes. A little book that made me crazy to revisit those pages and bring them to England. That evening I immediately told two of my close friends who are also from Southern Italy, and the madness immediately took shape. A few days later on the table, we no longer had only that little boy, but also a flood of recipe slips from my two friend' grandmothers. And from that day, Mad in Italy was born!"
