“Our very first trip to Italy, years ago, was to the Amalfi Coast, and one never tires of the stunning vistas, the scent of lemons in the air, the freshest seafood (and don’t forget the pizza)! We are thrilled to share the delicious secrets behind what makes this region of Italy so beloved by visitors and locals alike. Slow down, take in the sunset and let’s raise a glass, toasting that we’re finally here together.”
