A note from Chef Kyle Opel:

“My earliest memory of Italy is steeped in the charm of Bardi, a picturesque town nestled in the mountains of Nothern Italy in the Province of Parma. This enchanting place was my father’s favorite place on earth, and together we shared a deep love for its rich food and vibrant culture. Little did I know at the time, it was here that my passion for Italian cuisine truly began. 

We wandered the cobblestone streets, delighting in fresh gelato and pastries, savoring a quick coffee or a cheeky beer. We would explore local markets, captivated by the sight of giant wheels of parmesan, often sneaking a taste. Picking sun-ripened tomatoes straight from the vine, sipping homemade limoncello, and enjoying exquisite Italian red wines at dinner, I discovered the magic of fresh ingredients—simple yet profound. 

In sharing my family’s culinary heritage, I hope to honor my father’s memory and invite you to experience a taste of that love. The food and drink are an extension of our love as we invite you to dine as family.”  

In loving memory of Damian Gerard Opel.
