Transcription

1 MENU Pellegrino Toscano (nonno Pellegrino) was born in Rome (Italy) in Having fought as a young officer in the Italian Royal Army during the Great War and lived as an adult through World War II not only did he have a great respect for food but also a great love for family and friends and he was happiest in seeing them united around the dining table. Being a lover of good food, every meal was an occasion and every meal started with the preparation of the water. It was a ritual that only Pellegrino was allowed to perform and everyone had to watch in silence. He would open the stopper of the flip-top bottle, pour with great care a sachet of Idrolitina into the water, quickly reseal the bottle and after one minute proudly pour his homemade sparkling water. Giacomo and Yvonne would like to continue their nonno s tradition by sharing good Italian food with good friends. Buon appetito
