From the Pellegrini Family kitchen!

Fine food is a staple of all of the Pellegrini households and of each generation. Ida Pellegrini – mother of Robert, Richard and Jeanne – credits her cooking expertise to her mother, Gina Martelli, who brought rich culinary traditions to San Francisco from her native Tuscany. Ida furthered her culinary skills under the guidance of Mary Pellegrini, her mother-in law, who together with her husband Nello mastered Tuscan cuisine from his mother, Linda, who in turn sent old family recipes from Italy to San Francisco during the early part of the 20th century. Today, Nonna Ida and her family continue to prepare authentic Italian dishes like Chicken al Mattone and Frittata.
